| 1182310 | 2011-03-01 22:31:00 | There is one in my home town of Nelson as well a water diviner who the stupid Nelson Mail give too much time to. He says if you drill near Rocks rd on the Tahuna end there is hot water. I am sure if they drilled there they wont find any and the guy will say oh bugger got it wrong this time but hey there is gold in MT Crusader if can mine it. So you reckon water divining is a crock too (I must say saying hot water sounds odd). I have met several who have done it. One guy in Greytown did one spot there with underground streams running all over the place but said if you go down to a certain depth here you will have a very reliable water supply. Well the fire brigade couldn't pump it dry so I guess you could say it was reliable. |

It is not that I am defending him it is that so many people are getting so worked up by it like some religious people (I was going to say christians but have found a lot of religious people aren't very christian) do when you question them about their belief. Considering some scientist are starting to accept the fact that the earth tide (not talking water here) can affect volcanoes it is not beyond the realms of possibility that they could affect earthquakes too. Just keep an open mind. |

| 1182312 | 2011-03-01 23:15:00 | I wonder what sort of astronomic or physics qualification some of the adamant naysayers have to call the likes of Ken Ring a 'charlatan' or whatever. I admittedly understand little of astronomy or physics and while I have my doubts about Ken Ring's theory I am not quick to dismiss him as some crazy bat. An open mind is the first step of increasing wealth of knowledge, not rabid, uneducated bandwagon-jumping denial. |

I have a brother -inlaw who is a founder member of NZ sceptic society, yet when he contracted polio he went to the sister Kenny treatment centre in Wanganui, she was treated with great disdain, only being a nurse. |

| 1182314 | 2011-03-04 21:18:00 | I predict an Earthquake in Christchurch on the 15th of March, based entirely on my new theory that Earthquakes are related to the way the wind blows up and down the Ngauranga Gorge . I won't bore you with the technical details of this theory but needless to say it is backed up by local research involving crystal balls, tea leaves and water divining rods . The science isn't exact, so my prediction is good for a ten day window either side, it's also accurate to within a thousand or so kilometres radius so an event in Wellington counts as well, and also all other events such as storms, volcanic eruptions or indeed anything unusual at all count as a success . Should no noticable effect happen, I reserve the right to proclaim later that I prevented the disaster through some other mysterious mechanism I won't explain, or that an event actually occurred but in a parallel universe . I'm working on a book, please send your advanced orders with a large cheque to me and I hope to be on Campbell Live or Close Up shortly . Oh and as I am still working on the calculations, I reserve the right to change my predictions to another month, or year, or decade if it helps me get a correct prediction . Should I miss the big one, I will amend to calculations to fit the real world experience, therefore ensuring that my theory can never actually be wrong . And some people think it is easy being a Pseudo-Scientist, they have no idea . . . . . |
