Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Roger's joke is based on the theory of phrenology, which was popular in the 19th century and involved interpreting personality traits based on the size and shape of bumps on the skull. The idea that the bump on the side of Roger's head indicates he is a passionate person is a humorous reference to this discredited theory.
