Ah, yes. Pagent of the Peacock gives +4 to Bluff checks and then lets you use Bluff in place of any Intelligence skill check. From there you could probably use a Versatile Performance in place of Bluff to make Knowledge checks. A wee bit convoluted but unless I'm missing something, it's doable. Basically you shake your hips and convince people that you're actually an expert about what you're talking about.

@ Azten potp doesn't let you add half your bard level true. But you can make know skills untrained. And if you put a point in spellcraft and linguistic you can then use potp to bluff those skills at a higher bonus. Appraise can be done untrained. It basically turns Into skills into cha skills. Awesome for a bard.

The Pageant of the Peacock trick is still excellent, mind you, but this doesn't help.
It works if you really consider what's happening here. Pageant of the Peacock lets you "bluff" your way through Int checks and Int-based skills. The motif is that you're showing off your high social status and heritage to "pass off" your knowledge as being more believable than someone else. In other words, "I'm not a doctor, but I play one on TV" and then proceed to give medical advise. But the key thing, here, is that your medical advise is actually true. How can that be, if you were spouting out medical advise with very limited actual medical knowledge? Because you're such a good liar, you bluffed the universe and succeeded. This is Quantum Actualization at its finest:
You: This monster has a resistance to Fire.
Universe: Really? I never knew that.
You got the whole universe to believe your BS. I'd totally let glibness work on that.
