May I see your I.D., please?
Iridology is said to reveal stuff about you (your health, personality) from your eyes, and Dermatoglyphics does the same with your fingerprints.. (actually, it's the "study of the integumentary patterns formed on palms, soles, and fingerprints.")
Pretty interesting stuff.
Palm-reading, or chiromancy, is an old, many say quack, art/science. I had a thought: Maybe the government can tell stuff about you if you're on the fingerprint database... Don't they take footprints of babies at birth? I bet that might say something, as well.
If the eyes are the windows to the soul, could the soles be the window to one's eye?
Here's an iridology link.
Here's a link to an expensive dermatoglyphics book for purchase.
Wikipedia on dermatoglyphics is scant. But here's the link.
Here's an interesting article that a cursory review revealed me to have csi (serious intent).
Fingerprints of God is a book (but I don't think it talks about my hands, lol), purchase
Lifeprints is what got me started on this post; I met the author, Richard Unger; purchase
Apparently, there's some fingerprint correlation to schizophrenia.
I believe I have zero whorls. Not sure, though. If I want to be a paranoid schizophrenic I can always believe the computers that are reading my blog are reviewing my fingerprints, lol. But I have an eye on one of my fingers. So it'll look back.
This stuff puts a new twist on Ditech.
(not a very hard riddle. d,i -get it?)

The difficulty with proving iridology as a science is that there are no studies being accomplished in North America, yet, there are several studies from other countries that show great reliability of iridology as valid diagnostic tool.
For example, three recent studies showing good success in detecting diabetes:
Journal Article: Learning to predict diabetes from iris image analysis:
Early Detection on the Condition of Pancreas Organ as the Cause of Diabetes Mellitus by Real Time Iris Image Processing
Journal Article: Early Detection on the Condition of Pancreas Organ as the Cause of Diabetes Mellitus by Real Time Iris Image Processing:
Early Detection on the Condition of Pancreas Organ as the Cause of Diabetes Mellitus by Real Time Iris Image Processing
Journal Article: Abnormal condition detection of pancreatic Beta-cells as the cause of Diabetes Mellitus based on iris image:
Abnormal condition detection of pancreatic Beta-cells as the cause of Diabetes Mellitus based on iris image
And some amazing studies accomplished in Russia:
