Thanks for the tip-off about the Tongue Map. I'm afraid it's still being presented as serious knowledge. I'll go to bed slightly wiser tonight.

Nitpick: I would appreciate those things even more with a link. (Upvoted nonetheless.)

By bruise aging do you mean this? Where would one go to verify it has been discredited?

Yeah, links would have been better. Let's see if I get the format right.

Try this for bruising.

Tongue map and bullet lead analysis are in wikipedia, and both (as of yesterday) looked like reasoned articles to me, though the statistical confusion in bullet lead analysis is not well laid out.
