Magnet Accident

Here some geek stuff: Mag­net­nerds

The so called Neodymium Mag­nets are cur­rently the strongest type of per­ma­nent mag­net avail­able in the world. That this is not always just plain fun expe­ri­enced a Dutch guy at his own’s fig­ure. Two of those mag­nets col­lided over a disc­tance of 20 inches (50 cm) and smashed his finger!

That Sun­day night I placed on of them a bit in line with one of the oth­ers but still within a safety dis­tance (I thought) !!!  When I rotated the mag­net the other raised it self upwards due to the same poles. I know that I thought (ooops … take care) and before I knew it the one that raised itself upwards turned around and within a split sec­ond the two mag­nets col­lided to each other with the top-part of my fin­ger between them. Due to the bru­tal force my fin­ger was splashed and pushed out between the mag­nets leav­ing skin and my com­plete nail between the two mag­nets. The col­li­sion was so strong that on the car­pet I found only some drops of blood spread around the magnets.

Raining Tadpoles in Japan

As rainy sea­son approaches, Japan’s Ishikawa pre­fec­ture has been receiv­ing some unusual pre­cip­i­ta­tion — it’s been rain­ing tad­poles. Accord­ing to pre­fec­ture offi­cials, tad­poles have report­edly fallen from the sky in two sep­a­rate towns this month. Although it is not unheard of for water­spouts and strong wind to to pull small fish and ani­mals from water and drop them on land, no foul weather has been observed in the area, leav­ing res­i­dents scratch­ing their heads in won­der.
The first reported case of anom­alous tad­pole rain occurred at about 4:30 PM on June 4 in the town of Nanao. After hear­ing a strange sound out­side the Naka­jima Civic Cen­ter, wit­nesses dis­cov­ered approx­i­mately 100 dead tad­poles in a 300 square meter area in and around the park­ing lot. The tad­poles mea­sured 2 to 3 cen­time­ters long.
