Tired of shopping lists, “World’s Best Mom” card and Junior’s finger painting falling to the floor when weak “permanent” refrigerator magnets lose their grip? Well, these sturdy plug-in appliances, with motifs such as a thick-framed Rubens or a nearly-marble Michelangelo, will hang and anchor that ten
page book report and the book, your quilted down coat and a leashed, slobbering Neapolitan Mastiff all securely to the door until you choose to release each with a simple press of a button.

hint of frustration in this one. I'm with you FJ... but it will all be better tomorrow. |

Another good reason not to leave a spoon in the leftovers. |

Another good reason not to wear jewelery in the kitchen. |

It's possible to get super-strong ferromagnets (or antiferromagnets, which act the same), which will indeed stick a ten page book report - or your hand - to the fridge. Some are less than a cubic centimetre in volume (not the hand ones - they're about ten times bigger). |

Frickin expensive things, but fun to play with. |

Magnets this strong might be dangerous to credit/debit/gift cards, video tapes and floppy disks. |

"Dad, I put a floppy disk on the fridge. Could you please take it to work and print out my report on that really nice color printer that you have." |
|
| |
Something really strong might even be dangerous to cell phones and PDAs. |
|
| |
Not to mention Granny's pacemaker........ |
|
| |
Bust open an old hard drive and get the magnets out of it.....they will pin anything to the refrigerator and keep it there. |
|
| |
Jutta might have one that's already been taken apart :] |
|
| |
Another idea might be to have battery operated electromagnets to hold things to a refrigerator, with a timer on them that cuts out the power when the time runs out. Of course, if the batteries die, it falls off the fridge prematurely. |
