	Gall - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Insects that induce insect galls are called gall-inducing insects.
		Although insect galls can be found on a variety of parts of the plant, such as the leaves, stalks, branches, buds, roots or even flowers, gall-inducing insects are fairly particular about which tissue of the plants or what kind of plants they make galls on.
		Galls are rich in resins and tannic acid and have been used in the manufacture of permanent inks and astringent ointments, in dyeing, and in tanning.

	FJ Gall
		Gall began to collect human and animal skulls and wax moulds of brains from around 1792 in order to study the development of the cranial contours with the characteristic behaviours associated with a species of animal, or a well-known general or robber.
		Gall claimed to have discovered that the nerves flowed not to a centre, but outwards in all directions, and hence there was no central control centre but instead diffuse and localized modules throughout the surface of the brain.
		Gall described the brain as the continuation of the spinal cord and claimed to have discovered that the brain is made of "bundles of threads" rather than a pudding-like substance.

		Gall was especially interested in studying individuals who demonstrated extreme behaviors -- those who were especially gifted, or criminal, or insane -- and considered their particular skull prominences and depressions as representing those parts of the underlying brain that were over- or underdeveloped relative to their special characteristics.
		Gall amassed a large collection of skull and brain casts, including those of well-known writers, philosophers and artists, to serve as a basis for correlation and corroboration of his theories.
		Gall correctly identified the origins of cranial nerves I through VIII, and was the first to notice the presence of two discrete kinds of nerve fibers, "rentrants" or "divergents" (projection fibers) and "convergentes" (association/commissural fibers).

		Galls do not appear until after the plant has been growing for one or more seasons; thus, losses due to crown gall can be costly to the producer.

	phrenology
		The Viennese physician Franz-Joseph Gall (1758-1828) claimed there are some 26 "organs" on the surface of the brain which affect the contour of the skull, including a "murder organ" present in murderers.
		Gall was an advocate of the "use it or lose it" school of thought.
		However, in Gall's time it was only possible to study the brains of the dead; thus, phrenologists could only associate the different structures in the brain with supposed mental functions that were in turn associated with the contour of the skull.

	Gall's law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gall's Law is a rule of thumb for system design from John Gall's book Systemantics: How Systems Really Work and How They Fail:
		This law is essentially an argument in favour of underspecification: it can be used to explain the success of systems like the world wide web and blogosphere, which grew from simple to complex systems incrementally, and the failure of systems like CORBA, which began with complex specifications.
		Gall's Law has strong affinities to the practice of agile software development.

		Galls are abnormal swellings of plant tissue induced by insects, bacteria, fungi, mites and nematodes.
		Galls range from 1/8 to 1 inch in diameter and are first noticed in late summer or early fall, depending on locality.
		Experimental studies suggest that a potentially susceptible tree (as evidenced by the presence of old or new spherical galls) may be highly susceptible to gall formation for 2 to 3 years, after which the tree seems to lose most of its gall-forming capacity for a 2- to 3-year period.
