In the hard world of small businesses its hard to see why water bore
hole
companies would keep dowsers on their books if there was nothing in
it,
and down here they all do, whether it also works with all the other
things claimed for it I do not know, but if you want to try a method
to
prove it, 2 plastic Biro tubes, each with a bit of metal coat hanger
in
that has been bent to 90 degrees, hold one in each hand tuck you
elbows
in tight and walk slowly, we did this in physics at school and out of
30
of us only one did not get a reaction to the water in one of 10
sealed
containers, its difficult to see how you could make the wires spin
yourself. thats good enough for me. Whoever is offering the money is
quite safe because neither I nor my then physics teacher could
explain
why it happens.

Excellent! There's no need to explain why it happens. You just
need to successfully pass a very simple test; no need for any
simple or complicated explanations.

So, Charlie, tell me when you're ready for the test. Since my
fees are going up with each new applicant, I'll split the winnings
with you - $999,998 to you and $2 to me. Unless Sacha beats you
to the cool million ... quick, time's running out.

So you can explain gravity?
Not everthing in science can be explained, I do not need to do it again,
I am satisfied it works, I was suggestion YOU have a go, if nothing
happens you can carry on being sceptical until then I win.

I do not disbelieve in dowsing because I cannot explain it;
I do not believe it because I do not believe the claims that are made;
People employ dowsers for the same reason that "indians" did rain
dances.


Indians who did rain dances 'knew' when the rains were coming. In the same
way as I get ready for the traffic lights to change because I 'know the
pattern' of them.

If you are a driver, think about it :-))

Kindest possible regards
