[edit] Shark week and magnets

On Discovery's Shark Week ("Shark Feeding Frenzy"), they attempted to confuse the Ampullae of Lorenzini of a hammerhead shark with a powerful magnet, unsuccessfully. Is this something that belongs in the article? Valley2city 06:00, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi sorry if this doesn't conform at all to wiki format. Just wanted to pose this question in case no ones ever thought of it before. Dolphins seem to protect humans when a shark's around according to the shark and dolphin wiki entries. The shark wiki states that 'no sharks will attack a human when a dolphin is around.' I'd like to raise the question of 'could it be because the dolphin somehow disrupts the sharks ability to detect electricity due to having biosonar?'
