This was my 666th post. At that time, I said:

I'm evil-wicked-mean-and-nasty

, but now that I've moved beyond this post count, I'm a nice guy again. (Though I do still have an "Evil Wicked Mean and Nasty" patch on my backpack.

Numerology eh?

Pseudoscience fails to meet the criteria met by science generally (including the scientific method), and can be identified by a combination of these characteristics:

* by asserting claims which cannot be verified or falsified (claims that violate falsifiability);
* by asserting claims which contradict experimentally established results;
* by failing to provide an experimental possibility of reproducible results;
* by failing to submit results to peer review prior to publicizing them (called "science by press conference")
* by claiming a theory predicts something that it does not;
* by claiming a theory predicts something that it has not been shown to predict;
* by violating Occam's Razor, the heuristic principle of choosing the explanation that requires the fewest additional assumptions when multiple viable explanations are possible (and the more egregious the violation, the more likely); or
* by a lack of progress toward additional evidence of its claims.

Numerology is silly for all of the reasons that Psionicist points out, but I've long thought that it would be the foundation for a cool spellcasting presitge class.

Numbers and grammar. Those are the things make thaumatergy cool.
