To come to 'Spode's defense, the online version is moved solely by the program that runs on their server. Its answer is determined by its programming + a random number stream.
The cardboard version is controlled by the "human element". Thus if you believe that humans have the power to do supernatural things, the cardboard version is far, far scarier. :worried: |
I see what you're saying. That makes sense.
OK, I'll get off my cardboard vs webz thingy. Thanks :) |
You beeeyotches are gonna be sorry when I get my glow-in-the-dark Ouija board (already named Capn' Howdy) to find out how you turn out in life!
|
Oh darlin' that story has been told!
And it's not a good one. |
You're not done yet, Shawnee
|
Let me know what the Ouija Glow says then, k? :)
|
If you know anything about ouija, you know it comes from within. Unless you are stuck in a 60's seance with Madame Freak Freud.

It works the same way as dowsing- either outright manipulation by a participant, or subconscious ideomotor effect.
|
Dowsing, ever personally seen or done it? There are apparently more than one way to do it.
I saw it done for a water drain pipe, didn't believe it, and was told to do it myself which I did. It worked- I don't know how... but it worked. The form we used was two lengths of wire coat hanger each about 12" long. They were each bent at a right angle giving a 2" handle and about a 10" piece running out from each hand. When I walked overtop of the ceramic drain pipe in my yard, the two 10" lengths of wire crossed each other making an X as I looked down at them. The pipe was buried about 4 ft. underground which we had to dig up so we could replace it. It was the contractor I'd hired who asked me for the coat hanger pieces to locate the drainpipe. The best I could figure is that there must be some kind of electrical, magnetic field conveyed through the main house drain that it picks up inside the house. But still, I was walking upright with my hands about 4ft. above ground level making the pipe around 8 ft. below the hanger pieces... cool stuff that has to have a scientific explantion, I just don't know it. :cool: Anyone have a scientific explanation for me? I would enjoy learning about it. |
I find things like that fascinating, Ruminator.
|
Me too HLJ. ;) :cool:

If you can successfully dowse in a scientifically-controlled experiment, you can win $1,000,000 from the James Randi Foundation. Dowsing is one of the things they have experimented for. So far nobody has won.
|
Well now I suppose that depends on your definition of "scientific" and your definition of "controlled," doesn't it?
|
The definition is, essentially, "double blind". If neither the dowser nor any of the observers that the dowser can see know where the water is, then neither do the rods.
