Yes, congratulations, consuelo. Maxomancy (alt. def.): the sudden and overwhelming urge to worship a Quordlepleen.

Now, Maxie, I didn't specify that it was you, did I? I might just happen to know of one or two other Quordlepleens...what's that, Zaphod?

bibliomancy: fortunetelling by random Bible-passage picking. aeromancy: fortunelling by air or wind; weather forecasting. ophiomancy: fortunetelling with snakes. mazomancy: fortunetelling by a nursing baby (Greek mazos = breast; see mazophilous). xenomancy: fortunetelling by studying the first stranger who appears. More to follow.

Perhaps you will all grant me clemency for adding that Clemancy as a woman's name made its rounds a few hundred years ago.

makes me want to aks how it is executed
and Lizzie Borden day was just this past Saturday ...
Lizzie Borden took an axe Gave her father forty whacks When she saw what she had done She gave her mother forty-one
And she divined: that if you are a wealthy, prominent Victorian maiden who hires as defense counsel the former Governor of the state who appointed to the bench one of the judges presiding at your trial, you will be acquitted.
