Nobody seems to have figured out that, despite the incorrect headline, this has nothing to do with the well-respected Cook's Magazine. The perp is a different entity called "Cooks Source Magazine" (no apostrophe and plus an extra word.) I would highly recommend changing the headline before you hear from Cook's Magazine attorneys.

I'm amazed that nobody has commented that one of the beasties is (or was) an AUROCHS, not an "auroch". Two of 'em would be auroches or aurochsen. Talking about an "auroch" is like talking about a Chinee or Portugee. More to the point, it would be like talking about "ock" as the singular of oxen, since "ox" is the second syllable of aurochs.

Humans are not usually very magnetic. You've already been hit with a pulse from an extremely powerful superconducting magnet if you've ever had an MRI.

This doesn't surprise me at all, and it shouldn't surprise anyone who knows anything about the construction of wooden ships. Look up the history of the Eddystone Light, the first lighthouse built in open sea. The first wooden tower failed immediately, but the second (Rudyard's Tower) was built of wood in 1709 by a shipbuilder who knew how wood should flex and how to make solid joints that could take the ocean's pounding. It was perhaps eight or nine stories high and took everything the Atlantic could throw at it for fifty years until it burned down, something the designer couldn't have done much about. It was replaced in 1759 by a granite tower (Smeaton's Tower), which lasted until 1877, when the rock underneath it began to crumble away. The current Eddystone Light is basically a scaled-up duplicate of it. (The top 3/4 of Smeaton's Tower was disassembled block by block and reassembled on Plymouth Hoe, where it is a tourist attraction. The stub is still on the original site beside the new one, and it still hasn't fallen over.)
