We dare you to try this at home. If you've ever wanted to really "float" on air when sleeping at night, then Dutch architect, Janjaap Ruijssenaars, has made your wish come true. After five years of experimentation, he has succeeded in creating a floating plinth (that can double as bed or table) which hovers only on the strong repulsion of magnets set in plinth and floor. More pics are here at Mirage 7.
does this fit into the "is memory foam good for sex" category too?
thoughts?

I keep wanting to make "magnet" and "attractive" jokes.

I think this showed up here before. I guess the magnets would rule out body piercings and some of the nicer metal toys.
No using the laptop computer in bed with this one...
Ack! I'm old enough to wonder how it affects pacemakers more than body piercings.
I can only imagine... the bed flips over and this giant magnet crushes your bones... or you're doing the deed and the bed rocks to the edge of the field, and you and your friend and the bed shoots across the room!
Through the room and out the plate glass window.
Okay, this *needs* to be in the next James Bond movie.
i have positive and negative feelings about this.
Patrick, you totally stole my line!
Yahoo! had an article on this over two weeks ago.

And no worries about the bed falling out the window. It's tethered to the ground on each corner.
Body piercings are typically made from surgical steal which when annealed are not magnetic.
