Phrenology by Olivers eviltwin, mock piratey turtle, Pieces

I did a Phrenological Analysis of Daniel Venning. I have deduced that he has a propensity for "adhesiveness", resulting in strong freindships and societal bonds. The pronouced "secretiveness" bump may indicate a tendency to restrain within the mind the various emotions and ideas that involuntarily present themselves, until the judgement has approved of giving them utterance; it is simply the propensity to conceal, and is an ingredient in prudence. He is also likely very cunning and probably a very good liar.
He exhibits lots of "cautiousness" which also gives origin to the sentiment of fear, the desire to shun danger, and circumspection ; and it is another ingredient in prudence. The sense of security springs from its gratification.this also may indicate he is prone to "poltroonery", which i have no idea what that is, and i think it wil be fun to continue not to know.
certain bumps indicate he is very perceptive,particualarly of:
SIZE-Gives the idea of space, and enables us to appreciate dimension and distance.
WEIGHT-Communicates the perception of momentum, weight, and resistance; and aids equilibrium.
TIME-Gives rise to time perception of duration.
CAUSALITY-Traces the dependences of phenomena, and the relation of cause and effect.
a perceptive, prudent, and lumpy individual.

As it is only fair that since Piratey Monkey had a chance to do an analysis of me, I got to do one of her, I did so. Thank you for calling me lumpy, my dear! And my results are below:
***
My Phronological analysis of Piratey Monkey led me to several interesting conclusions, some of which were contradictory. I found small raised sections of the skull at two centers for the Faculties of Wit or Mirthfulness, both at the fore and aft of the skull. This leads me to conclude that Piratey Monkey has an extremely developed Organ with respect to these areas.
I also found one of the largest raised sections at location 2, the center for the Faculty of Philoprogenitiveness, the love of children (especially one’s own offspring). As far as I know, Piratey Monkey does not have any children of her own at the moment.
Ms. Monkey also seems to have extremely powerful Organs of Combatitiveness (area 5), and a massively strong Faculty at 19a, which is as yet Unascertained. This doctor has hypothoses as to what those Faculties may be, but I haven’t done enough testing to be sure.
Ms. Monkey also has strong Faculties for perception of number and order, as well as a slightly strong Organ of Alimentiveness, or appetite for food.
This doctor was unsurprised especially by Ms. Monkey’s developed Wit, Mirthfulness, and Combatitiveness. My personal experience with the subject confirms those three, as she is indeed a Force To Be Reckoned With. I have also noted her strong ability with numbers. I haven’t found in her a great appetite for food, but I have seen her imbibe a decent number of beverages, which could account for the Alimentiveness.
To confirm my findings, I subjected the subject to a similar test, one of Physiognomy, using of course my most highly regarded of tools, the internet.
Because Piratey Monkey has a longer, thinner face, but one with regular features, she is “generally capable of endurance and will not leave things half done.” Her smooth forehead, lacking many wrinkles, indicates that she is a “cerebral person,” used to thinking on her feet, and doing so well. The lack of white visible either above or below her irises means that she is calm, at least at the moment, and unlikely to respond either violently or with stress. Her level eyebrows, which curve down only at the edges of her face signify that she is a thinking woman, an “idea person,” who can focus on facts and figures. Her prominent and nose is a sign of initiative and determination. Her thin upper lip is a signal of an “innate introverted personality,” but the fuller lower lip complements this with a persuasive nature that is hard to match.
In my professional opinion, Piratey Monkey is quite phronologically and physiognomically sound, and as such capable of many awesome things, including but of course not limited to repelling evildoes from far away.

I am curious to know what phrenology has to say about my twin's horns.
Especially as there's a story in my family that I was born with a tail. And depending on who's telling it, horns too.
Hmmm... this is suspect. What about Mr. Oliver's Evil Twin? What did he do on this project? (At least have the panache to fake it- I've wanted to do Biome stuffs for ages, and have waited patiently for a Minneapolitain to join up in that group.) C'mon. You're fellow art kids. Fill this up a little.
love,
