100% yes so far! <lol>

Now, do you have stove magnets you can hang a cast iron skillet from? <G>

I do.......

I use the stove hood to store the most oft' used items.

I'm short on storage space.

Neodymium magnets.

Good stuff!

My magnets stick to the magnetic chalkboard NEXT to the fridge. My favorite
magnet was a GIANT Prozac pill (the previous owner was a psychiatrist and
left it behind). I think my ex-wife swallowed it!

Yepper!!!

Fastest way to erase a HD!

Some of the larger ones were also used to steal cars in L.A.

They'd wrap them in towels (so not to scratch the paint) and slide them over
the car hood to...

God, it's been so long!!!

The really heavy pull ones can be had for just a bit over $100.00.

;-)

I generally "stick" with 40 lbs. or under.

I can manage those!

I forget the rating of the uncoated ones my brother had but playing with

Not any more. Some anarchists have gone over there and made it a

still it's ~18:82%.

I think there should be a question, and how many do you have? I have
two, plaster pressings of herbs I got at a flower show. Some people
have the refrigerator plastered with magnets.

Lee Valley has magnets I covet. I just know I'd get them near

They aren't what I'd consider "safe" house magnets!!! They are dangerous on
TOO many levels.

Only the folks who left food in them when they left their summer

OT: Medical science has found that maggots are great for cleaning out
the rotting flesh in bad wounds. The won't touch healthy living flesh,
and unlike their parents, they are not germ carriers. Patients who
have been able to keep from being creeped out by the concept have had
good results from maggot treatments.

Done.

Affirmative.

At least, I /think/ there's a fridge under my magnets.

And yes, the one in the upper-left corner is made out of
the stuff they make road signs out of. It was made by a
friend who makes the road signs for Vancouver Island.

It's a silhouette of a T. Rex with the word "XING"

Heh, that's funny. When it's time, just replace the articles, pictures
and memos. Has merit. I did just see a tip somewhere to put a
layer of newspaper or something on top of your refrigerator. When
it gets dirty, change it. Of course, if you are very tall, that might not
be an attractive idea.

In the Rhymes with Orange comic strip today (or maybe yesterday) is
showed a king in a castle sticking notes to the armor is a knight with
magnets. The caption was, "Before refrigerators.".

Depends on the species of fly to which the maggots belong. I won't go
into gorey details but I do know that some maggots will eat living
tissue. The ones used for debridement also secrete antibacterial
compounds into the wound.

I put them to work... rather than just playing with them.
Several larger ones are stuck to my stove hood and the most commonly
used utensiles hang from them. Some are built into hooks that will
handle a considerable amount of weight.

I got them he

http://www.gaussboys.com/

http://www.gaussboys.com/magnets/hooks/

Some of the more powerful ones are certainly not toys!!!

Keep them away from computers, and credit cards. ;-)

Some of the really tiny ones make interesting earrings and "fake"
piercings...

Here... but watch it! Seriously.

These things can get scary and even the small ones can do serious
damaged to old CRT monitors. They can also destroy credit cards, and
tapes:

http://www.gaussboys.com/

They also have a million and one valuable uses.

Just be careful with them.

I primarily use them to hold down stuff I want to stay put, like a
carpet covering over the deep freeze, coupon holders on the 'frige, and
various items stuck to the stove hood. Makes for handy metal item
storage. I especially love the hooks.

Blue bottle fly larvae will eat the living. :-(
I've done enough wildlife rescue work to see the rather horrid results.

<sigh>

Flea spray kills maggots on contact, if you get to the animal in time.

Recall an (early) episode (1st I believe) of Mythbusters where Jamie
and Adam endeavoured to prove/disprove the myth that magnets would
erase credit cards - by and large it was busted - they tried 'wiping'
hundreds of cards (500 or so) without success - even using an
electro-magnet!
Success was only achieved when using a neodymium magnet which had a
'pull' of 25lbs and it had to be in direct contact with the card, but
they couldn't get an accurate strength reading of the actual power of
the magnet, so it only appeared in an out take of the episode.

Some of the ones on my stove hood are 40 lb. pull.

I'd rather not risk it. :-)

Trust me, Neodymium magnets are special.

I _have_ exposed crt monitors to small ones, briefly.
It pulls the picture to the magnet (distorting it) and if a screen is
exposed to one for too long, it'll require de-gausing before it'll work
again.

We have erased video and audio tapes with them before we quit using them
and switched to dvd's and cd's.

I was just reading somewhere that credit cards have been improved
in that regard. I know that I had to be careful with my company ID
badge, it certainly would ruin your credit cards if you weren't careful.
I didn't even keep it in my wallet, most people didn't. You don't have
to worry so much anymore.

I remember that eelskin wallets were known for wreaking havoc with
credit card strips, I have no idea if that was a myth or why that would
possibly be so.

Yup. US Army, 1982-84.

Before each cycle of Basic Training, the Army, at least,
tapes large sheets of paper over the walls of the bathroom
stalls. They know that recruits will be doodling in there,
so they give them a place to do it, which saves having to
re-paint every 6 weeks.

Ah, if only I had a digital camera. But alas,
by the time I took pictures on film, waited until
I could afford to have them developed and put on
disc, then downloaded them to my computer and uploaded
them to tinypic.com, well, let's just say it would be
