Why in lots of the beatles songs do they refrence Paul to a walrus? I heard it is a some sort of scam that the beatles did? is that true or is it something else

I'm not quite sure, but the walrus has some connection to death.

In some songs, the Beatles did "Paul was dead" and whatnot subliminally. There are many photographs that also have "evidence" like three dots in a corner of the thing instead of four, representing the members, but most of its a load of balony created by paranoid fans.

Paul is still alive, of course.

I've always thought that the walrus, as in the walrus and the carpenter of Alice in Wonderland, were Buddha and Jesus 'shucking' the oysters of the faithful . . . a sort of satire of religion and what it does to your freedom of thought, perhaps?
