Containeromancy

Found inside the pressure cooker today when I went to clean it out for dinner:

A June Tabor CD (Against the Streams)
A white cardboard tab
A paperback copy of The Low-Carb Cookbook
A paper clip
A .60mm nylon guitar pick

Can the contents of inappropriate containers be read like tea leaves?

Does it have to be three-headed? Would two do?

Very good question!

I've consulted the ancient and appropriate tomes and it seems that the three headed beast was only needed until the turn of the last millennium. At present the actual number or even presence of a head is entirely optional.

One text (and alas there is only Feingeld's "Modern Day Signs, Omens and Portents in the 21st Century" to fall back on) points out that driverless automobiles and tractors can readily be used in place of the more traditional headless flying fowl. It's good to know that someone is keeping the old arts alive.
