I wonder what Lombroso would say about that mug. His forehead does seem kind 
of low for a genius - nothing like the great, domed forehead of James Clerk 
Maxwell:

It can't be a coincidence that good citizens such as Brock Vond and 
Inspector Aychrome (AtD 606) are both disciples of Dr. Cesare Lombroso - 
surely there must be something to his theories. Gibbs' low forehead may not 
rule out genius, but it does seem to hint at certain character flaws - what 
moral deficiencies...what dark secrets?
