What a jolly place the law courts would be if we still practised coscinomancy. This splendid, fair-minded, and totally rational procedure was used in ancient Greece to determine the guilty party in a criminal offence.
If you fancy having a crack at some coscinomancy, simply suspend a SIEVE (apparently it has to be a sieve - colanders are not welcome) from a thread. Then read out the names of all possible guilty parties. The sieve will quiver when the guilty party is named. Then inflict a punishment on them as you see fit. Hurrah!
