Warren,
Are you aware that your name ("sans souci")
means "no worries" or "carefree," cheerful and
unbothered by the trivia of life, one who lives
in a buoyant and untroubled manner?

Here we go again with bitching about OT.... everything is always off
topic when I comment on it.
The topic was diving rods to find meteorites ...correct??? So my
input on an experience with them is considered off topic???
How about this.... I drop this bitch fest lame list out of my email
and then I wont have to read threads full of people complaining about
OT all the time.
Some folks on here should really go out more and live a little, then
they wouldn't be so grumpy.
Since this email is technically OFF TOPIC, I'll end it now.
It's been nice talking to SOME of you.

OK, here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to take Michael Murray up
on his
original proposition that started this crazy thread. I'm going to
make some
divining rods like Warren's dad made. Then I'll bury a 10 kilo Odessa
meteorite a foot underground. I will then see if it shorts out the
Earth's
magnetic field enough to affect the electro-chemical reactions in my
brain
producing a muscular twitching resulting in the crossing of the
magical
rods. I will have 3 other people try it that don't know where the
meteorite
is buried for a sort of triple blind experiment. I will disguise the
hole so
they can't see it. I'll report back the results. This groundbreaking
experiment will settle this silly argument once and for all. (Notice
how I
brought the thread back to the subject of meteorites!)

Hi Chris & list,
While I agree with you , I must do so with a small grain of salt.
I nearly quoted your previous email statement to my father regarding
divining rods .
He smiled at me, went inside and brought out 2 coat hangers. He cut
them and
produced two straightened pieces of wire. He then bent them both the
same
way, nearly at a 90 degree angle with one end longer than the other.
He then
held the short ends, one in each and hand, loosely out in front of
him. He
walked across the lawn over a buried water pipe and the two wires
went from
pointing forward to crossing each other. They crossed exactly when he
walked
over the pipe and then uncrossed when he was past it.
I didn't believe any of it, so he handed them to me. Like a fool ( I
felt
like one, holding two pieces of wire walking around), I took them and
repeated what he had done. Damned if they didn't cross exactly the
same way.
I could back up slowly and they would move slowly at the same time,
crossing
when over the pipe.
I took this situation to school. A professor listened and proposed we
try
some tests. All in all.... our conclusion was that you can call it
bunk, but
if you were thirsty, you could find water pipes easily.
I have not found much REAL data on the subject. My own theories about
why
the wire worked wouldn't jive with sticks or plastics.... While I
didn't
believe in it scientifically I can honestly say, if I were dying of
thirst
and had to find water underground in a pipe(lol) you'd find me with
some
coat hangers and a glass.
