Dowsing for Dinosaurs!

Dowsing: The Pseudoscience of Water Witching | Live Science

You can dowse for water, oil, or buried treasure. So why not dowse for dinosaurs?

See all the nice dinosaur fossils down there in the ground? But how would you know where to dig without a dowser? You can’t just start digging in any old place and hope you find a fossil. Believe me, I’ve tried that. It didn’t work when I was seven years old and it won’t work now.

Dowsing has been sneered at as “pseudo-science,” but it’s every bit as credible, reliable, and respectable as “climate science” and “gender studies.” In fact, probably much more so. And cheaper, too.

But of course They have never given dowsers a chance to dig up dinosaurs. I wonder if they’d give transgender dowsers a try. It would be “hate” if they didn’t.

Gee, maybe it got lost on the way down…

Well, WordPress has also fixed my reblogging feature, so now it works again. The test has been successful.

But it was more than just a test. We enjoy a lot of Michael Graeme’s blogs, and I think you will, too. Please do not interpret the reblog as an endorsement of dowsing. I just like to see know-it-all science fundamentalists tearing their hair out when they can’t get people to believe them.
