^Seems like pretty unambiguous evidence to me.

I guess I'll protect myself since I do Astronomy. Even though all signs seem to point straight at Alpha, others may want to protect manutd (Astronomy national champion) or Infinity Flat (Washington state champion in Astronomy) just to be safe.

Good, you've all proven your astronomy mettle. :)

7 evil stepsisters = the "seven sisters" of the Pleiades/Maia Nebula/M45 (located in Taurus)
65 klicks = Aldebaran is 65 LY from Earth
Alde and Baran = well, duh
"arrived right behind" = kinda backwards since Aldebaran, which in Arabic translates to "the follower", follows the Pleiades across the night sky, not the other way round, but whatever
Zodiac = Taurus is one of the 12 constellations of the zodiac (or 13, if you feel like being technical)

Also, if you have a spare protect, use it on Pleiades (member from the waaaay old days; I'll be very surprised if any of you young'uns playing the game know her and equally surprised if she's the target).

Cinderella was full and had a few trouts left on her plate. She decided not take them home and have left-overs, but to have fun and whack her stepsisters on the head. Little did she know that I had poisoned the trout.
Congratulations Mnstrviola. You have successfully solved the clue. [Well, you are still missing one of the hints.]

Clue number three - courtesy of Assassinator
Hump-tea Dump-tee wrote:Hump-tea Dump-tee sat on a wall. Hump-tea Dump-tee lost his balance and had a great fall. All the kings smelly horses and all his stinky knights could not duct tape him together again.
Now I ask you, officers, to put my breakfast back together again. If you fail, I will eat these horses and knights instead.

As promised, your ID clue.
Big Foot wrote:Once upon a present time, there lives a giant. His name EST "Big Foot." He has very big feet, compared to others and his own body size. Everyone EST fears him, but no one can capture him. He goes around killing and scaring people. No one knows his true identity.
Can you capture Big Foot?
BWhat do they all have the same of?

Obviously there is some significance with the different spellings of "hump-tea" and "dump-tee"

I accuse Littleboy of being the Assassinator because:
a) the syntax is identical
b) the language is perfectly in sync with what Littleboy sounds like
c) Littleboy seems to see crud in clues that NO ONE ELSE sees.
d) Usually, by now, he has at least PMed me 50 times with lists of possible suspects. He hasn't this time.

If it's LB, I am going to strangle EAST.

Also forever, your sig is unnecessary D:

Also it's not true.

EDIT: Nevermind, your sig changes, I see. It said something...risque when I saw it.
