Well of course it does. However it remains an unquestionable truth that the entire future history of mankind is encoded in the bumps on my head.

Slate is late: this pseudo-science was debunked in The Skeptical Inquirer, Volume 21 #6... November/December 1997
If the sample is large enough, a wealth of historical or contemporary phrases can be found in any large text. One researcher, as example, discovered the outcome of a recent NBA championship game.

...And of course Montgomery's "Phrenology code" has yet to be scientifically proven. I suspect he put the bumps there himself.

There will be a great darkness at the turn of the millennium, followed by a great light as a great burning fire rises in the sky the next morning. There will be great suffering in the aftermath, and the people will clutch their heads and gnash their teeth. And makers of Japp's Health Salts shall inherit the riches of the Earth....

Wow monty, that is the most insightful thing I have ever heard. Did you mention that all golf courses within the vacinity of lakes will be rather fragrant?

This is basically the Plot of the movie PIE. This Awesome Jewish Mathematician is hired by the Jewish Mafia to figure it out. He slowly drives himself mad. Very weird movie, plus it's entirely in black and white.

Oh, yes. Excellent movie for watching on a projection TV in the middle of the woods on Hallow'een night with a beautiful woman. Not that I've ever done these things, mind you. I just think it would be a good idea. And it's Pi, not Pie.

Well, not really...I mean, yeah, Pi was about patterns, but in a much more interesting way. The idea that all of nature can be expressed via numbers is much different than the idea of hidden messages that can only be found with my Captain Comet Decoder Ring.
