Why would I want to do that? They are not dishonest. They will just insist that, if you want to win the prize, you have to be able to do something the Plain old science cannot explain.

They have tested for Dowsing twice now.. In Italy and Australia... Your argument is getting a bit stale. Just saying.

Not to belabor a point, but if it's just plain old science, why does it not work in the blind tests? It seems that it only works about as good as somebody guessing where a line is. After all, they offered a prize to folks divining water as explained above. They (Randi) didn't even insist on 100%, but only two-thirds of the pegs within 10 cm of the pipe - and nobody did it.

I have no doubt that people have found water and buried lines with bent coat hangers. But if it was really science, then all of the BUD companies wouldn't spend money on complicated and expensive toners and tracers when a couple of old brazing rods would work just as well.

Good luck and take care.
