Zodiac
trogdor-lover - the signs of the zodiac are precisely defined regions that divide the sky into 12 equal arcs. They are loosely based on the constelations that the ancient greeks used but are not exactly the same, partly due to the Earth's precesion but mainly for convinience. Some astrologers may say there are different numbers of signs or that they occur at different times, but they are just plain wrong.

Also, Rasputin's autopsy would show that he drowned since his lungs would have filled with water even after death. If he was thrown in quickly then the poison and shots may not even have had time to kill him and so it would be entirely natural for him to drown.
