  • @gruntlesnoot @Nguli34689 @Metrion77 @greatsage4ever @dumnuts1 @artesemelodias Any idea where you can travel to do a psychographic test?

  • Oh my God! kkk This is crazy! Funny.

  • I found this entertaining clip while searching for info about CieAura.

    Snake oil, crystals, CieAura, Tupperware, Amway etc. -- all the same to me.

  • I love the goofy sound effects in the background.

  • did anyone else feel the urge to shout GRYFFINDOR when you learned about a magic hat that read people's personality?

  • Changing personality with a wine bottle and a little impact! lol

  • Believe it or not,my own Phrenology head, 'Fred', has been taking an investigative interest in Australian Rules Football. His most study has been on the Collingwood Football Fan, whom he describes as a 'human sub-species'. This is not altogether an inaccurate description, but in Fred's case no doubt an innocent Faux pas!
