Barnum’s Law and toxic feet


Much as we’d like to deny it, the evidence to verify Barnum’s Law just keeps piling up.

Here’s a blogger astounded by the black stuff on the pad on her feet, convinced that it’s toxic stuff magically drained out of her body, through her feet.

Who is going to tell her the facts?

Uh, you haven’t been suckered by that scam, have you?

Update: The blogger in question seems to have gotten the message:  The post has been yanked.  Smart people change things when their errors are pointed out.
