[meteorite-list] Magnet canes are evil

[Galactic Stone & Ironworks]

Hi List,

The evilness of magnet canes is well known throughout history.  In
fact, Satan uses a 3-pronged magnet cane that is often mistaken for a
pitchfork.  An old 14th century woodcut in the tome "Of Meteors and
Devils" (trans), a depiction of Satan is clearing seen and about his
feet are several imps who are pulling bits from the end of his magnet
cane and dancing about with them.  ;)

Best regards,

MikeG
