Superstition and celebrities: two things the world would be better with a lot less of.

Dude. Am I the only person who looked at that site and thought, "I SO need to get my toes read. I wonder where I can find a toe reader!"???
'Cos now I want a thorough toe-reading, like a good palm reading wherein the fortune teller draws lines on your hand and little marks to show you the formula she has plugged in to get the material for her great story.

When reading toes, we look for straight, flat, well balanced toes that looks as if they are walking their destined path...
Honestly, I would prefer straight, flat, well balanced prose to toes ... and a little verb agreement would help.

My best college friend Lee used to be able to snap his fingers--- with his toes.
Truly. Amazing. And. Disgusting.

My father-in-law, who was Japanese, was a palm reader (although he made his *real* money creating "o-mamori", or magiic charms/amulets)..
He was pretty famous, and had clients all over Japan. Most of his palm reading was based on real "science" or numerology. He had stacks of books containing Chinese star charts and tables.
I never really believed the palm-reading stuff (but happily drove the hand-me-down luxury car purchased with the proceeds of my father-in-law's palm reading). But I respected that belief system.
Palm-reading, numerology and geomancy (they're all related) are incredibly old practices, older than science and logic. And I suspect when science fails us (what's going to happen when the Fed cuts its rate below 2 or even 1 percent? Or when oil runs out? Or sea levels rise?) this stuff (don't know about toe reading, though) will stick with us.
