The current ad in your most recent column is for–alas!–a chiropractic college that has also started teaching acupuncture, herbal medicine, and many of the other crackpotic medical arts!
Oh, the shame of it!
On the other hand, if it came from Cecil, it must be good. I think I’ll enroll.
Absolutely. I just enrolled myself. I think I’ve found a purpose in life. Thanks Cecil Adams!
Will bloodletting be taught? It could be helpful for patients who are bewitched by bad humors.
The READER is willing to accept money for ads from almost anything (you ever browsed through a copy of the Chicago edition?) … Cecil has no say in the ads, one way or 'tother.
Which just proves the saying, “Money talks,…”
Dearest dropzone,
The word “crackpotic” is new to me, and apparently new to Merriam-Webster’s web site. If you coined it yourself, I tip my hat to you for it. If not, please tell us where you found it. This is where I describe some gesture of respect or sycophancy (sicko-fancy?) and back away, muttering platitudes.
Hoo, boy! How’s that for cryptic? 
I like Chiroquacktic, myself.
Anyone who went to Brown knows that the word is “psychoceramic”.
*Mr Burns: Otto, you went to Brown, didn’t you?
Otto: Yeah. Almost made tenure, too.*
Crackpotic is my own and is intended to be more general than chiroquacktic.
