Mark, I thought of something else you may find interesting, though it does not answer your original question. Several of my uncles claimed to be able to "devine" water. (Water witching as they called it.)I considered it a bunch of hooey, however, I was treated to an impressive demonstration. My dad could "buy warts". If he saw a wart on someone, he would ask them to sell the wart to him. He would pay a dime for the wart. He would then hold his hand over the wart and say "It's mine now." In a day or two, the wart would be gone from the persons body. It did not appear on Dad's. He did not like to do it, said it made him feel "jubous"! I don't explians 'em, I just tells 'em.>khandu
