Talk:Divination

This doesn't belong in the article, because no one takes it seriously (except possibly some young children), but I wanted to share it:
- Cheeblemancy (hamster divination), a method which Esther Friesner sometimes demonstrates (with an absolutely straight face) at science fiction conventions

I thought critomancy (divination by barley cake) was pretty humorous, myself. The only Google search results (http://www.google.com/search?q=critomancy&sourceid=firefox&start=0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8) I'm seeing are links to definitions, so I'm guessing it (and a lot of the other "mancies") belong in the Wiktionary. --Ardonik 07:38, Jul 9, 2004 (UTC)
Commercial links
I'd like to suggest we refrain from these highly commercial sites. Does anyone know what the rule is at Wikipedia? It seems to me that a site should be removed if it is low on original content and high on commerciality. But I don't make the rules, and I don't want to be hasty. Anyone?

Ceromancy
The description given for 'ceromancy' is seriously funny unless the reader is cognizant about the existence of mucousal oracle bead chronicles -- the size of a pinhead. Such beads should all be jarred, but alas, at least one is safely tucked away where only microfauna can read it. Transformed mucous is waxy and also gel-like in consistency, and does hold both images and voice. Pouring melted wax into water would certainly attract the attention of resident microfauna -- such as bees and birds -- and some predictable actions ostensibly result (with a supernatural twist). >beadtot @AOL
