    Rods or sticks it’s a big stretch to think the wheelbarrow represents dowsing. But also the grip on a wheelbarrow is more like the stick than the rods which are bent about 90 degrees and held like guns. Maybe you don’t know how dowsing rods work. I can link to an article about spinning in circles to align your chakras, equally new age, as likely wrong as dowsing is. I don’t need to propose an alternative to criticize your theory, but I did and you ignored it. Your article is 3 years younger than the comic, and fads come and go in less time than that. You don’t walk in small circles when dowsing. There are more facts and details to go against dowsing being the explanation than there are to support dowsing.

      I had no idea there was this many dowsing kooks still around. Learn what a scientific mechanism of action is, then go try to prove one for dowsing. It’s bunkem bullshit.

      As for the cartoon; think what you will about it. All new age stuff is bullshit regardless.
