Rumpology

Rumpology or bottom reading is a pseudoscience akin to physiognomy , performed by examining crevices, dimples, warts, moles and folds of a person's buttocks in much the same way a chirologist would read the palm of the hand . ^[2]

History [ edit ]

The term rumpology is a neologism . The late American astrologer Jackie Stallone claimed that rumpology is known to have been practiced in ancient times by the Babylonians , the Indians , and the Ancient Greeks and Romans . ^[3]

Theory and practice [ edit ]

Rumpologists have a variety of theories as to the meaning of different posterior characteristics. According to Stallone, the left and right buttocks reveal a person's past and future, respectively, although she has also commented that "The crack of your behind corresponds to the division of the two hemispheres of the brain". ^[4] According to blind German clairvoyant and rumpologist Ulf Buck, an "apple-shaped, muscular bottom indicates someone who is charismatic, dynamic, very confident and often creative. A person who enjoys life. A pear-shaped bottom suggests someone very steadfast, patient and down-to-earth." ^[5] The British rumpologist Sam Amos claims that "A round bottom indicates the person is open, happy and optimistic in life. However, a flat bottom suggests the person is rather vain and is negative and sad." ^[6]

Rumpology can be performed either by sight, touch or by using buttock prints. ^[3] In addition to live readings, Jackie Stallone performed buttock readings using e-mailed digital photographs, ^[7] and has claimed to predict the outcome of Presidential elections and Oscar awards by reading the bottoms of her two pet Doberman Pinschers . ^[8] Ulf Buck, who is blind, claims he can read people's futures by feeling their naked buttocks. ^[5]
