[TowerTalk] FW: Divining rods

[Ryan Jairam]

Sure. That's an easy one.  NO one knows for sure what makes divining
rods "work" if they do at all.

In other words, what do they measure? Are they affected by gravity,
the Earth's magnetic field, or are they simply a measure of our
senses?

They could very well be a primitive sort of measuring device that
measures human reaction to the environment, such as what a polygraph
does. Except in this case that it won't be a "poly" graph. In this
case the divining rod would be most effective when handheld.
