Zodiac Killer could be any of the following: John Dean, Pat Buchanan, Al Haig, or a figment of Woodward and Bernstein's mind.

Oh, sorry, wrong thread ...

Zodiac sort of resembles my ex-husband if he wore spectacles and the dates would match. Wonder if I should turn his miserable hide in just to cause him trouble? Nah, guess not. It was a delicious thought though.
