Gents, I too am a bit of a skeptic BUT last month in my front yard the contractor burying Fiber showed up to mark existing lines. I was totally taken back when he breaks out two steel rods to locate

No matter the claims of many logical thinking, well meaning people on this list, there has evidently never ever been any scientific evidence that this works. Sorry, I suspect the physicists here aren

I remember reading decades ago that, according to the laws of aerodynamics, bees cannot fly because their wings are not large enough for their body size. The bees, however, being unfamiliar with the

In all of these posts, there's an implicit claim that the location of the desired object is fully random. It's not, right? For instance, in the pvc case below, the installer has probably seen the ful

For years people have been quoting that old misunderstanding to justify their own unrelated irrational conclusions, but the idea that bees couldn't fly in theory was debunked at least three decades a

I use divining rods on my Chincoteague Island property when I'm setting up temporary contest towers. I use them to detect my water lines and electrical lines so I don't accidentally hammer a stake in

That's a canard.. it was originally intended to demonstrate that simple models do not always work (e.g. flapping wings are not steady state flow, no you can't neglect thermodynamics, etc.) Sort of li

There has been nothing presented that says the results of divining are better than the results of random hole drilling for a given location. If 80% of random holes drilled hit water, than anyone can

That's a carelessly considered statement. Although there are of course bad practitioners who simply make mistakes, statistics itself is an extremely rigorous discipline. Wrong answers from statistics
