To ease the drain on Townsville's water supply , this blog suggests a crash course in water dowsing by Le Vicomte Henry de France as outlined in this rare 1948 book , part of the Little Darwin bookworm riddled library , which we are prepared to sell to the Townsville City Council for a princely sum and a weekly crate of Perrier Water during the looming water restrictions . A drum of eau de cologne would also be appreciated to keep the sweaty staff smelling like roses.
Monsieur Le Vicomte included a powerful chapter in which teleradiesthesia or superpendulum can be used to not only find water but detect where you will locate wild boars in the woods , assist in claiming the ownership of a tobacco shop , find a birth certificate and help to find areas likely to contain antiquities .
Armed with a photocopy of this invaluable book , each unfortunate resident afflicted by the Pokemon craze, including staff of the Townsville Bulletin , could run about the city doing something useful-looking for water to overcome the shortage .
