So DUmmy SidDithers starts this huge brawl at the DUmp over the idiotic concept of "dowsing", including dowsing for IEDs in Afghanistan.
You'd think the DUmp, a "reality-based community" would laugh at dowsing, one of the few activities that rivals chemtrails in goofiness.
But nooo. DUmmy after DUmmy pipes up with silly testimonials to the validity of "dowsing".
Maybe dowsing and chickenwire proves MIHOP?
And then, here comes the second-most decorated enlisted man in U.S. Navy history:

No shit, they work like a charm.

33. Try the Real World, sometimes, sid
It beats the hell out of the basement.
We have Mexicans who can work magic with welding rods.
They can find old electrical lines, pipes, all kinds of things.
Just because you didn't learn it in school doesn't mean shit.
Magnetic fields are real, it is really that simple.
You got a few thousand bucks that you want to wager? I will pay for the plane ticket.

34. Ok, you've convinced me...
magical magnetic Mexicans working miracles.
Awesome.
The DUmmies have been discussing James Randi, who offers a million dollars to anyone who can prove goofy nonsense like dowsing or any other "paranormal" idea actually works:

43. You've not heard of Randi's Million Dollar Challenge?
You could make a Mexican very happy. And (s)he might give you a slice of the pie.
Silence from TiT.

46. Interesting you should offer a wage
go to the website in the OP and make that same wager to Randi. He will take you up on the offer.
Bet you won't actually do it though.
Such silly nonsense.
More silence from TiT.
TiT has no need for James Randi's million bucks.
