The Parasitic Sciences


graphology - The idea swiped from forensic handwriting analysis, where samples of handwriting are compared, but not used to deduce the nature of a definite person, as is done by the fraudster graphologists for job interviews and similar services.

crystal power - a fantasy based on not understanding quartz clocks. Quartz stone can vibrate according to a specific current channeled to it under well known and measurable engineering parameters. When sitting by itself on a windowsill, it is just a piece of lifeless, solid mass of silicon and oxygen, known chemically as silicon dioxide. In fine powdery form it can impart chronic pulmonary deceases if inhaled, so there is none of its wondrous magic.
