“Fortune-telling that employs psychokinesis [such as table tilting and ouija boards] is very unreliable. The movements of the table or the apparent accuracy of the messages spelt out on the ouija board can be very convincing. Spiritual forces can work through these techniques [...] but the sitter's inner fears and hopes can influence the 'communication'.”

“Perhaps the most irrational fashion act of all was the male habit for 150 years of wearing wigs. Samuel Pepys, as with so many things, was in the vanguard, noting with some apprehension the purchase of a wig in 1663 when wigs were not yet common. It was such a novelty that he feared people would laugh at him in church; he was greatly relieved, and a little proud, to find that they did not. He also worried, not unreasonably, that the hair of wigs might come from plague victims. Perhaps nothing says more about the power of fashion than that Pepys continued wearing wigs even while wondering if they might kill him.”
