Toys I want but should not own.

I once opened up a huge 8-platter hard drive to get at the two powerful magnets. Magnets are great fun. It only took me 10 minutes to get a knuckle painfully stuck between them, and I realized that these toys were much too dangerous for me. I threw them away, once I managed to free myself.

Imagine if I had a couple of 3 inch diameter, 1 inch thick, grade N45 magnets to play with. They'd probably kill me.

they are not kidding around about these suckers breaking your arm.

i've got a few much smaller but still pretty big (1" x 1" x 1/2") rare-earth magnets and they are seriously dangerous.

i once got two smaller HD magnets stuck in my nose, one in each nostril. that'll teach a person respect for strong magnets, let me tell you. (well, it should. it happened twice)
