ABSTRACT
Probably the most popular myth we could include here is astrology, the idea that movements of distant planets and stars influence human personalities and behaviour. The Skeptic has indeed covered astrology many times – and also other old favourites such as graphology, numerology, and reflexology. Here, however, the selection is a bit more broad and eclectic. We see why the belief that we only use 10 percent of our brains defies logic, and find out about the appearance of faces and canals on Mars and the disappearance of the sailors aboard the Mary Celeste. But first ... heard the one about Nostradamus predicting 9/11?
