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?

>> 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.
