Several years ago a construction crew was digging up water mains on the street
in front of our house and we noticed them using coat hangars and asked them
about it.  Sure enough, they were looking for water mains.  I've read of
people who have been paid large sums of money for such talents by large
companies.  I tried the same thing and the damn things crossed just as I was
walking over a water main!  Before we start talking about sub-conscious
muscle actions let me explain that I was too young to have ANY idea about
where the water main was.  I guess these guys were just not sophisticated
enough to know that what they were doing couldn't possibly work.
