#2 I actually know how to do "astrological" readings. I can do them quite well too. It's pure hogwash. It's a fine scam that is run on the ingnorant and gullible. These people also think socialism works too, go figure.

#7 I've pointed out on several occasions that half of humanity is below average, by definition.

The corollary to that rule, by the way, is that 80% of everyone is middlin'.

#14 I was shocked the first time I read here about the side effects of Saudi endogomous polygamy marriage practices, Frank G. As I recall, on the order of 25% of births have at least one significant genetic birth defect, whether expressed as physical, mental or psychiatric disability. Not likely his parents were acknowledged full sibs, although realistically it's impossible to know the true sperm donor in such complicated living arrangements.
