Does anybody know where I can get a Neodymium magnet
So- Christmas gift...

When you pull up to a stop light you will usually see a upside down W looking patch of tar. That is where some cable is buried that has a current - and that current is disrupted due to the mass of metal in your car. ( rough description :) )

If you are in a very small car- or worse a motorcycle or scooter- late at night you will sit there and sit there without being detected. Apparently if you attach two small neodymium magnets to the bottom it will break the field.


Cool thing I learned while watching Blink :)

Anybody know where to get some?

1. Found a place down the street :)
should have looked earlier -


Still a good stocking stuffer if you have a buddy with a bike- or for your own...

9. I have a couple old college aquaintances
Who are big into recreational biking. I may have to look into this, because at least one of them deserves it.

Thats me. Bringing science to the Fundies since... when did they say they could deliver again?
