Ohio Supreme Court Drawn Into Magnetic Homes Case

The Ohio Supreme Court will decide if a builder will have to replace magnetized parts of two couples' homes, even though they signed a limited warranty which did not specifically cover replacing positively- or negatively-charged building materials. After moving into the homes the couples found that something was not quite right. Their TV screens were distorted. Cordless phones ran into interference. Computer hard drives were corrupted. Soon after, it was discovered that steel joists in the homes had become magnetized."

    Anybody here have a large mallet I can borrow? I think that I can fix this one real cheap!

    Why, are you going to smack the couple on their heads? That's where the defective part is located, not the house.
