Animal Magnetism
On 12/18/2013 in Question
Does animal magnetism affect the earth’s magnetic field?
———- from Naomi T. of Chicago
Animal magnetism is made by rubbing a cat’s fur backwards. It can also be made by rubbing amber with a cloth, but it very much depends on Amber’s mood. In small quantities, the earth’s magnetic field is not affected. But if you could somehow put 5,000 cats in a room and rub all their fur backwards simultaneously, the earth would tilt on its axis and fall into the sun. Research indeicates the Soviets were working on a magnetic cat bomb. Keeping up, even now, we’re planning to send our own cats into space on Kit Kat 12. Scientists in the know think this is at least as practical as that Star Wars deal and will go a long way towards eliminating strays from the neighborhood. Hope this answers your question.

Since the moon can move the oceans up and down up to 20 or 30 feet twice a day, is there danger for those of us who linger too long in a bathtub or hot tub?
