At least the Zodiac killer is recent enough for uncovering their identity to feel sort of feasible. That said, I personally find the idea of it being Ted Cruz so amusing that I see little reason to amend my head-canon, regardless of evidence presented.

I’m honestly so tired of hearing this lame conspiracy theory/in-joke. It’s so dumb and trollish and barely funny, all it does is give ammo to repubs who think dems are wackadoos. Fellow dems, this ain’t it.

  That's cool and all, but I personally enjoy it because of Ted's personality specifically, not his specific political affiliation. And also who cares? It's clearly a joke, one that happens to appeal to my particular sense of humor. There are oodles of topics that provide plenty of political ammunition, but anybody who takes this one seriously is an idiot.

    Sorry, but I just recently watched a crowd of angry trolls sell memes and Internet in-jokes as facts to droves of angry Facebook users, and then they combined forces to elect a fascist. I no longer believe this kind of crap is inconsequential.

> my head cannon The phrase you're thinking of is "headcanon" (cf. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/canon https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/canon), although "head cannon" evokes a much funnier mental image.

  Despite knowing it was the same base as canonical, it somehow never occurred to me to spell it that way. Thanks for the heads up, but since google hasn't decided it approves of "headcanon" I was forced to compromise in my correction.
