Re: dowsing. If you can prove you can divine water, Randi will give you $10,000. He has tested several dowsers. Each claimed beforehand that they could detect water 90% of the time. Each one failed 100% of the time. They were at a loss for words at their inability to locate water under >test< conditions. Learn the basic facts of the scientific method, bucko. Learn the truth about properly conducted experiments and the double-blind method. Your "personal proof" is as valid as the "proff" about walking under ladders causing bad luck, spilled salt, Ouija boards and black cats. This discussion does not belong under sci.* -- Bruce G.
