Agreed re: a broken bottle is a better weapon than a set of nail clippers...if you really want to throw them off the trail buy a bottle of something rare and expensive!

It makes sense that an almanac might be a suspicious item in tandem with many other factors; but of course there ar a bunch of numbnuts out there who will see the presence of an almanac alone as 'proof' of something...along with a head-turban, or a birka...

Oddly, this reminds me of those cases where finding a videotape of a violent movie or a set of tarot cards or a book by Aleister Crowley in a teenager's bedroom somehow gives a valid criminal profile...gimme a break...This is how the West Memphis Three were convicted. Why are such stupid people allowed to work in law enforcement?
