Good about MRI. Hope you aren't asked to apply medical MRI to image
in real time Rebel Wilson having an orgasm during coitus - might be
tough on you and the machine...

I carefully avoided being the technician for experiments that might
cause harm. Could the MRI's intense electrical and magnetic fields
result in a deformed child?

Our machine could bend a knife blade held (firmly) near it. Another
operator forgot to remove his watch while inserting a sample and
magnetized it immobile. When the watch shop demagnetized it, instead
of just vibrating a little as expected it flew up to the ceiling and
then broke its crystal on the floor.

This alludes to a real project that the chemist at the next bench
contributed to.
