David's story refreshes my memory. Several years ago a building
maintenance guy came my lab to change light bulb or AC filter. He
took his tool and went the ladder close to the magnet. I told him
"do not bring any iron tool close to the magnet, the magnet is very
strong, the tool will hit to the magnet and cause damage." He said
"really?", as soon as he finished his word, he held the tool close to
the magnet to test it, I did not have any time to stop him, the tool
jumped to the magnet from his hand and chipped some paint off,
made a visible dent on the magnet. The people's curiosity is more
than "Curious George" has, the more you talk the more curiosity
he will have.
