That has great potential for a Jackass stunt.

Love it, glad the A&E workers could share a laugh as well.

Your wife is monitoring your web activity in the toilet? Dirty boy.

โ€œAfter struggling for 20 minutes, I decided to Google the problem and found an article about an 11-year-old boy who had the same problem. The solution in that was more magnets. To put on the outside to offset the pull from the ones inside.

โ€œAs 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.โ€

Classic. Should have gone out for a bike ride instead.....

(I have 40-odd PhD / Post doc physicists in my team at work. I've got a degree in chemistry. I shall be using this to illustrate the need to do a risk assessment and project plan and if I accidentally mention intelligence vs common sense as well......)

The best bit, his Dr wife, took him to hospital, so her colleagues could have a good laugh 😁

Yup. Speaking as the husband of a frighteningly clever physicist, I'm amazed I've never had to take her to hospital with a magnet-based nasal injury.

โ€œI have some electronic equipment but really no experience or expertise in building circuits or things,โ€
Made me laugh!
โ€œMy partner took me to the hospital that she works in because she wanted all her colleagues to laugh at me.
Made me laugh a lot lot more!

There was an old woman who swallowed a fly...
This could've ended in a scrapyard with one of those huge electro-magnets on the end of a crane.

Pulling nasal hairs out can make your eyes water, (according to a friend), but messing around with high-power neodymium magnets near your nose? The thought makes my eyes water!

Well, it could have been worse...
