Words & Wordplay - July 2007

I notice that some people use the word "that" all the time, and others don't - and the sentence seems to work either way, with or without the "that"
Example:
"I know you like green jello"
"I know THAT you like green jello"

"Do you think such a radical method would work?"
"Do you think THAT such a racidal method would work?"

Which is correct?

I never heard from him again. Now Scotland Yard - and, I suspect, other agencies - is trying to find the manuscript he said was writing at the time of his death.

- Who Killed Ashraf Marwan? from today's NYT


I'd like to know how the part can be analysed : the manuscript he said was writing at the time of his death.

I think I can rewrite this : the manuscript which 'he said' he was writing at the time of his death. So the menaing is clear to me.
But it is my question that how the sentence can be changed to the one the writer expressed.

I'd like to have some answers which are explained grammatically.

Looking forward to your answers.

I would have thought down the creek without a paddle makes more sense because if you're up the creek you could just float down.

If a print of a well known artist has this notation on it,does this simply mean that the seller has reproduced the original artist's signature? Would this add any value whatsoever to the work?
Thanks.
