They were exploring the ability that some animals have for sensing direction. The producers claimed that a human being could also tell what direction he/she was facing due to the existence if a built in body magnet. This magnet is deposit of either iron or iron containing salts that are located on the inner scalp lining, just between the eyes and is recharged with sleep. While sleeping the body is facing one way for a prolonged length of time and the earths feild slowly but surely aligns the deposits. Thats all I can remember of the show for now. -supermo =========================================================================== .....................
