Dowsing definitely works.
Nonsense.
When I was a boy, many many years ago,
we had a very dry summer on the farm and the well was not producung
enough to properly water the cattle. We had to take the tractor&
trailer with 500 (real) gallon tank about 5 miles to the nearest river
& bucket into the tank.
We tried dowsing and at one point we had a reaction with the hazel
stick. Dug down and had a trace of water at about 8 feet, from then
on it was solid rock, digging with hammer& chisel. Eventually at
about 15 feet there was enough water to prevent digging further when
we hit the water course.
And of course that water course was *only* right there under your
"reaction with the hazel stick" and nowhere else -- NOT.
Doug..its obvious that you dont believe dowsing works.
Others have the opposite opinion.
Why not leave it at that?

One could not be a successful Leftwinger without realizing that,
in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers
and mothers of Leftwingers, a goodly number of Leftwingers are
not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.

Some people believe it.
Some people are entertained by it.
Some people profit from it.
For all those reasons, we still have psychics, palm readers,
astrologers, dowsers, etc.
I wonder how much people are affected by their daily horoscope
published in the newspaper.
As a stockbroker, you might do a lot calling when the horoscope
alludes to an opportunity presenting itself. You probably know the
birth date of your clients. I'll bet "There's an app for that" ;-)
If the horoscope says, "you will meet a tall, dark, stranger",
that might be the day to wander around the shopping mall standing
up really straight and acting strangely????????
;-) ;-)
