Paramagnetic? Are you shure you don't mean ferromagnetic? Paramagnetic 
is a very weak form of magnetic attraction, for example aluminium which 
is a strong paramagnetic material.
The type of magnetism displayed by iron and nickel is called ferromagnetic.

I'm not trying to bring back the old magnetic discussion again, just 
commenting on a detail.

I'm trying to decide if I will go to Norway or not, I have some things 
to do but I could go there in a few days. I will probably go in the end, 
a fall this close isn't happening too often but I have other things to do...

In any case, this is interesting.
