Ever heard of Iridology? or Phrenology? or Physiognomy? or for that matter Reflexology? They start making sense when you know that they are in the same league as Palmistry, Astrology or Feng Shui. Bang! there you are. You got what I meant?. And how did I get to know this? From this brawl on Anita's blog. On all counts, the views of Madhu seem to match my opinion on the subject.
It seems that there is a whole group of people in the US of A who are skeptic about such beliefs, the Tampa Bay Skeptics!! And then there is James Randi with his $1 million paranormal challenge. There's a World Skeptics Congress and a whole page of links to skeptical sites.
My Views: Skeptics, count me in!!
