A rare story these days - even has a coronavirus element but still made me laugh.

Ah so this gave him a magnetic personality then?

Surely you need a smart phone attached to your face, most have a proximity
detector in them these days that tells when its moved away from the face and puts it on speaker phone. Alternatively, there are sheets of material that have one side magnetised, you could use a hall effect detector chip and invert the output with one transistor to drive a sounder. Trouble is you would need a lot of magnetic material glued to your face. Does anyone remember the Theromone? This used the capacity change by moving your hands to control an oscillator so that you could make music with it. Perhaps the same could be done for the face? of course painting your face with silver conductive paint might be a drawback. Brian -- ----- -- This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from...

I believe there have been fatalities after children have swallowed them separately, and they then caused gut ruptures after trying to join up inside. |

Potentially hideous issues with, usually, children and animals. Also with coin batteries. But in this specific case, where the outcome was pretty good, I couldn't help myself laughing. |

I doubt there is anyone who will not laugh at this. The story reads rather like Gerard Hoffnung's bricks-and-barrel story, gradually getting worse and worse: - When he removed the magnets from the outside of his nose, the two inside stuck together. Unfortunately, the researcher then attempted to use his remaining magnets to remove them. - The solution ... was more magnets. [baaad idea] - As I was pulling downwards to try and remove the magnets, they clipped on to each other and I lost my grip. And those two magnets ended up in my left nostril while the other one was in my right. At this point I ran out of magnets. - Reardon attempted to use pliers to pull them out, but they became magnetised by the magnets inside his nose. €śEvery time I brought the pliers close to my nose, my entire nose would shift towards the pliers and then the pliers would stick to the magnet€ť. - The astrophysicist ... had ruled out further experiments with the magnets and face-touching, and would find other ways to pass the time while at home. [lesson learned] |
