Hold on there Engloid.
Wood does not fall to the ground because of magnestism. It falls to the ground because of gravity.

i have no idea where in the hell you got that info but your sadly mistaken with your ideas
and as far as magatism goes not all SS is cause i would set off metal detectors all the time if it was due to body piercings
and i can say its not like i have a couple of little earrings i have serious SS jewelry in my body and have yet to have it attach to a magnet or be picked up by a metal detector

gravity pulls things, thanks the the rotation of the earth coupled with the movement of LIQUID HOT MAGMA (dr evil accent) is what causes magnetic fields on earth.
gravity is a natural product of very large objects, such as celestial bodies (ie the earth, obviously) and not everything has magnetic fields.

Everytime I read something you post I can feel brain cells dying off. Please stop and just go hang yourself.

All metals can be classified as Non ferrous metals and Ferrous metals. Ferrous metals are those metals which contain iron. They may have small amounts of other metals or other elements added, to give the required properties. All ferrous metals are magnetic and give little resistance to corrosion.
Most commonly used ferrous metals are Mild Steel, High Speed Steel, Stainless Steel, High Tensile Steel and Cast Iron

The basic composition of austenitic stainless steels is 18% chromium and 8% nickel. This enhances their corrosion resistance and modifies the structure from ferritic to austenitic. Austenitic grades are the most commonly used stainless steels accounting for more than 70% of production (type 304 is the most commonly specified grade by far). They are not hardenable by heat treatment.
Super austenitic grades have enhanced pitting and crevice corrosion resistance compared with the ordinary austenitic or duplex types. This is due the further additions of chromium, molybdenum and nitrogen to these grades.

To those that think all Stainless isnt magnetic buy these books read them, then...
