wow, if someone forgot to remove a piece of jewelry that would suck. Come to think of it, that would probably rip minerals through your body. ---

sounds like they can now create some super planet destroying laser ---

I ain’t skurred. That was a publicity announcement from a school, not a statement of anything actually accomplished. They say they “should” be able to hit 25 tesla by 2010. They may or may not break records. FYI the earth’s magnetic field may be .00005 tesla, but it takes 16 tesla just to levitate a frog: [http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg15420771.600-frog-defies-gravity.html](http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg15420771.600-frog-defies-gravity.html) Sorry, no planet destroying lasers mounted to sharks. They’re just going to use this little guy to bend the paths of electrons. ---
