Committee for Surrealist Investigation of Claims of the Normal

The Committee for Surrealist Investigation of Claims of the Normal (CSICON) was founded by Irishman Timothy F.X. Finnegan, who wrote, "The normal consists of a null set which nobody and nothing really fits." The committee claims that there is no such thing as "normal", and there are no existing "normal" people (i.e., people existing in the average). For example, no one has 2.3 children.

The name of the committee resembles that of the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal, and it may be a parody.
