    Human magnet

    Anybody seen this one? http://xo.typepad.com/blog/2004/08/img_alt_srchttp_120.html Saw this guy on local tv last week. He had irons glued on him and he was pulling something, a car I think. Perhaps someone should try contacting him to apply for JREF. Should be a walkover. ;)

    Magnet Therapy Works!

    It's true!. I ordered a bunch of Nyodymium magnets from the internet and when they came I sat around playing with them, making them do tricks. Dropping them down copper pipes, squishing my "Thinking Putty" with them. Collecting Iron Filings (magnet protected in a baggy for this) from my garage...

    Mosquito magnet -- does it work?

    I heard of mosquito magnet and similar devices that run on propane or a mix of propane and electricity, putting off water vapor, CO2, and "octenol" that attracts female mosquitos to within range of a trap that sucks them into a net. Has anyone seen whether or not these work? Not that I care...
