Abel. When he saw Cain's palm, he knew what was coming.

For whatever reason, I never could take palm reading seriously. For a time, I did take an interest in astrology and tarot cards - as I thought there might have been something to that - at least back when I was younger and more impressionable. But even back then, palm reading didn't appeal to me in the same way.

It also makes me wonder if there are other parts of the body which can be used to tell one's future. The bottom of the foot, perhaps? I wonder if there are any psychics who do butt readings?

All in all, it all seems like so much hokum. I think these "psychics" prey on people who are lost, depressed, vulnerable, and searching for answers they're not going to find from a psychic.
