I understand that the First Nations paddlers here on the Wet Coast of Canada navigated with their testicles. They would sing while they paddled (marking off the time they needed to go in a set direction) and then the navigator would sit on the bottom of the canoe with his testicles resting on the bottom, and then would feel the transition from one current to another--marking time to change direction and change songs. I haven't tried this, so the information remains more theoretical than practical. But really an interesting concept."

Well, could you do that to find a wreck ten miles off Tynemouth?
