"When you try to formalize or socialize creative activity, the only sure result is commercial constipation . . . . The good ideas are all hammered out in agony by individuals, not spewed out by groups."

- Charles Browder (1957), president of BBDO

a lot of unlikely/unlikable people have made art. this is for interest's sake - not an endorsement - some of it is poorly made.

see Hitler's nudes at http://www.hitler.org/art/nudes/
Charles Ng paints a mermaid at http://www.skcentral.com/ngart.html
Charles Manson's technicolor self portrait at http://www.psychosrus.freeservers.com/art/CharlesManson/self_portrait.gif

metrophopia - fear or hatred of poetry (pre-2004 definition)
metrophobia - fear of metrosexuals, akin to homophobia (new definition)

so you are a metrophobe if you don't like Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, because 1. you don't like metrosexuals, and 2. you don't like the fact that eye rhymes with guy. ;)

check out http://psychology.about.com/cs/glossaries/g/Metrophobia.htm for the old definition, and http://www.dartreview.com/archives/2004/01/14/metrophobia_my_latest_prejudice.php for the new.

Phrenology is the occult science which endeavors to read a person's character from the shape and particularly the peaks and valleys of the skull.

Physiognomy is the effort to understand the mind and personality by evaluating various facial traits as the nose, eyes, chin and cheekbone shape; in short, judging people by their faces.

Both fields have been fully discredited today by science. Check out the pictures at each site though, interesting stuff.
