What's *that* got to do with. Extremely powerful (and extrmely weak)
magnets can 'levitate' chunks of steel..

Jack's remarks about the effects of magnets on carbon based materials
made me remember the levitating frog story.

Most people assume that magnetism only relates to *ferromagnetism*,
i.e., the effect of magnets upon iron and steel.

However, there are *other* forms of magnetism, e.g., diamagnetism and
paramagnetism, which affect non-ferrous materials.

I don't remember which is which, but a magnetic field can affect
aluminum and living creatures. I have personally watched a rotating
magnet field cause an aluminum pan to rotate (and get hot at the same
time).

OTOH, it's possible that a powerful magnetic field might be working on
the *iron* in the frog's blood.

But, what do I know?

And, should I *care*?
