Pallets in fields

Robert, you dirty old man!

Not one scientific comment on my Pallet Ley Lines Theory. I've been sciencing.

Actually I think you may be onto something there. I look forward to seeing the map of these ley lines and, of course, the determination of what historical significance there is to each set of pallets. Bear in mind that the ley line concept is of European origin and that the pallets are located in the Americas. If I may be so bold, ancient native petroglyphs my yield some clues as well. If not, modern graffiti along the jersey turnpike may be of some help. Of course you will need to be able to read it.

Hey Dave, don't you think her tail is cute?

I regret that the "History of Science" is no longer included in the core curriculum. Had you young scientists taken this course, you would have realized that this conjecture is without merit. Pythagoras addressed the question, "Does a bear go in the woods?" in 500 BC. He proved that bears and other undomesticated land-based mammals that were native to Greece indeed go in the woods. Subsequent research by his followers, the Pythagoreans, has shown that his proof is not specific to Greece, but is general, extending to all undomesticated land-based mammals with access to forests.

Also, I would remind young scientists to use scientific terminology. Rather than use the layman's term "pee," use "going number 1" or "winky tink."

What do domesticated mammals do if they are in the forest? Do they have to hold it until they get home? What group was used for the control group in above proof? If a man goes number 1 in the forest, does that mean he is also undomesticated? What about number 2? What happens if a water-based mammal is in the woods?

It seems you have created more questions than you answered. We'll never solve this at that rate. BTW, what is your rate? Are you expensive?

Sir, if you have to ask about my consulting rates, you cannot afford my services.

G'day Dave... you've got me to 'ponderin' on Ley Lines. Having read the Scientific literature provided by link (thank you Steve) there is the practical suggestion that they are simple, albeit ancient, "A to B" straight line paths marked in such a way as to be easy to follow. This lends credence to the 'snowmobile path' theory and, somewhat, to the ELF theory. {please note that I am not throwing my lot in with these theories, I'm simply filing it there}

The mystical "New Age" interpretation that these Lines are streams of "magical power" are the stuff of fantasy... and adherents to this can usually be found wandering in the woods wearing 'fancy dress' squirrel ensembles. {photographic proof of this has been well documented in this thread... with, I'm sure, more 'proof' to follow}

There is, however, the phenomena of Dowsing.

Unless you have a "bucket of money" to throw at it, no sane person would sink a bore (or 'well') in the hope of striking water. You employ the local Dowser to first locate the best source of water and, "Wha-La", there it uncannily is! I know this to be true as I have 'the gift' to be able to divine for water, as has my father & his father before him. The local Dowser has checked my ability and independently confirmed this.

All I'm saying is that, from what I've heard, water rights in the US is a big money thing isn't it?

Hmmmm,, straight lines from one spot to another? And Sparc's first post was dated 12/27? Who travels directly from one landmark to another at that time of year establishing a series of Ley lines?

Gentlemen,
Please excuse my abrupt departure from our discussions last evening. Internet issues prevented my further participation and access to my research materials.

What a pleasure to see that, in my absence, solid scientific work continued by a few dedicated members.

Wagtail's reference to dowsing and Tom's scholarly mention of petroglyphs, old and new, are certainly areas of consideration. I would add that the long-held beliefs of the Native Hopi of current-day Arizona, concerning long earth fissures as pathways between worlds, are also worthy of further research. The clues are there for us to decipher if we are equal to the task.

I fear that referring to Ley Lines as being "of European origin" is Eurocentricism speaking. Perhaps our impressions are skewed by forgetting that history and pre-history are divided by the act of writing down past events, at which time they become "historical." While the development of written languages was very sparse in pre-colonial New Jersey and North America in general, the inhabitants were up to something none the less.

Wagtail's point about following the big money is very insightful. Further research along this line of inquiry should be useful.
