[F.J. Mitchell]

Every time I have ever shoved a magnet toward another magnet, the other magnet was repelled. Every time I have shoved a magnet toward a ordinary piece of metal they were forcefully attracted to each other. Those are the facts that I have witnessed.

Oh, God, it's late! So late that I've fallen into The Twilight Zone!

Please -- tell me you're shitting us! PLEASE tell us you are going for the Guinness Record for poker-faced droll "I really said that -- with a straight face!" award.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry or vomit.

I'm going to try to break the spell. I'm going to see if I can force my way out of The Twilight Zone by chanting a differential diagnosis.

Oh, wait! There IS another possible explanation!

It could be that this character has discovered that there really IS such a thing as the "magnetic monopole"! And what's more, it's the ONLY type of "magnet" he's ever encountered in life!

Does he realize how RICH he'll be when he shares this amazing discovery with the world? I hope he calls a good patent attorney FAST, before "the oil companies" try to take it away from him!

[OK, I finally decided. *puke*]
