I have been examined by an amateur chiromancer, but never by a phrenologist, neither professional nor amateur. I wonder, have I been missing out? In this matter, I am caught in a paradox. I would dearly love to believe in a Fortean world full of the fantastic and the bizarre, but I am a man of science. I believe in the power of science and reason to overcome all obstacles, yet at the same time I also believe there are, to crib from the Bard, more things in heaven and earth than can be explained through a purely rational view of the world. It's a pickle.

And of course there is quite a bit of weirdness in the world without invoking cryptozoology and the other pseudosciences: John Frum.
