Excellent! What I need is a floating wet bar with little jets and a remote.

People with metallic pins, pacemakers, and other foreign metallic objects in their skin or implanted in their bodies should also be careful about crawling under the bed to clean out cobwebs.

"Hi, I'm shopping for some furniture, can you help me?"
Salesman: "Sure -- do you have any piercings?"

It's quite a world we have built for ourselves.

OK, time for everyone to date themselves:

HOW MANY FREEPERS OWN/ONCE OWNED A WATERBED?

[ElkGroveDan]

a sleek black platform, ....and can double as a dining table

Funny I've heard of dining tables serving as beds in spontaneous circumstances, but never the other way around.

[Waverunner]

Wonder how the hard drive on your laptop would do.
No saturday morning wireless email check for you.

[Sax]

Star Wars fans can now order their land speeder beds.

I remember a rumor going around that the Francis Bitter National Magnet Lab at MIT used to have a larger than normal (whatever that means) incidence of leukemia among the researchers exposed to intense fields. NWIH I would lay down in a field every night.

So as a practical joke, if you cut the cables, will the bed propel it's self across the room, or try to flip over and snap back together with the occupants doing a sandwich meat immitation?

[Osage Orange]

[AngryJawa]

How long before every radio talk show host is cutting commercials extolling the virtues of the amazin' magnetic floatin' bed? 8^)

[Hatteras]

"and can double as a dining table"

Provided you use plastic knives, forks and spoons.

"It is not comfortable at the moment," admits Ruijssenaars.

and comes with a price tag of 1.2 million euros ($1.54 million).

What is wrong with these two statements?

[Tokra]

[Xenalyte]

I sent this to my husband, who said it looked too dangerous for him.

I'm not sure if he's worried about the tether cable snapping and the bed cruising around the room, or about me kicking him so hard he falls out and hits the floor from three feet up.

Although people with piercings should have no problem sleeping on the bed, Ruijssenaars advises them against entering the magnetic field between the bed and the floor
