If you had taken, and stayed awake during, high school physics you 
would have learned how to calculate the gravitational force generated
by a given mass and could therefor calculate that the "massive metalic bar"
would have to have dimensions in many miles to have enough gravitational 
force to be detected by the most sensitive instruments in existance.
