Discovery of the day

[beetiger]

Two of the walls of my office are made of metal.

Now I know what I want for my birthday.

Magnets.

Cutesy crafty tiger and bee magnets? Little picture frames for your photos? Artsy fartsy like Dress-Michelangelo's-David? The words you can rearrange into poetry lines? The colourful plastic letters of the alphabet, that in my house, Mom always had on the fridge when we were toddlers?

Anything work-safe would be fine! I'm thinking my coworkers need to get to know what I'm like eventually....

NIB ones! You could trick people into trying to pull them off, for cheap amusement.

umm... did mike blab about what i was thinking about making you for christmas/solstice/hanukah?

chris; by the way, do you have a picture of Omaha up online anywhere?

[beetiger.livejournal.com]

No blabbing, no. This is the first I heard you were thinking of making me anything!

I don't believe I have a picture of Omaha online. But I can send you one if it amuses you.

So these should or should not be the anatomically correct 'paper' doll magnets which include a really cute cross dressing blond guy?

Not all metals are magnetic. Aluminum, for instance is not only not magnetic, it's dia-magnetic. It will actually REPEL a magnet if the magnet is moving too fast, because the magnetic flux lines will bend back in such a way that it creates a "virtual" magnetic field that repels the magnet away.

And stuff.

So THERE. :)

Well, true. But I did try a magnet on the wall, and it stuck.
