I am sure that I am not the only person to notice a strange new human phenomenon in which humans appear to have developed powerful magnetic fields, of either North or South polarity, radiating about 5m around one's self. This serious new condition would appear to present it's self in such a way that when an afflicted person walks along the pavement (sidewalk), if another with the same condition, human magnetism syndrome, is walking in the opposite direction, and if both are of the same magnetic polarity, once the two magnetic fields meet it causes one or both of the unfortunate sufferers to deviate, at a tangent, from their original intended, direction of travel.
In industry there are such things as demagnetisers, intended to demagnetise steel parts/objects. Unfortunately, I have not seen and am unaware of a demagnetiser capable of demagnetising a human-being.
