Body-mod artists Jesse Jarrell and Steve Haworth's original idea was to implant a magnet to carry metal gadgets. It turns out that doesn't work: If you try to carry something magnetic on your implant regularly, the pinched skin between the magnets dies and your body rejects the implant. But they came up with a new application when a mutual friend suffered an accident that left a shard of iron in his finger.

why?

kinda interesting story on body modification and "sensing" electrical impulses from electronics
 
What do you mean, why?

Electricians can use it to double check if a wire is live or not. There's all kinds of uses for it, too...

I think its quite awesome. Heard about this the other day.
 
Interesting but the only body-modification I wanna do is give make my penis hard as steel.:D

it's more for having a place to hang your keys ...I guess pockets are just too low tech
 
Haha, this is awesome!

One step closer to drop-in biomodification! I'll have an MP3 player stimulating the small bones of my ear, please.
 
"Because body-mod artists are not medical practitioners, ice was the only anesthetic available. My finger was soaked in ice water until it began to hurt. After that, Haworth acted quickly to get as much of the implant done as possible while my hand was still numb from the cold."

Um...ouch.

They aren't that powerful... all they do is spin or slightly move when near a magnet or electrical current...

I also fail to see how technological advances in the form of body modification and improvement has anything remotely to do with 1984 in the slightest bit of at all. :upstare:

"Can you see the implications for this? THIS COULD CHANGE THE WORLD!" -Guess who said that


That's pretty cool :D

Cool idea

Although it would be cooler if you could put in a magnet in your penis and anothre one in your gf, and then put one of them on alternating current.

Autosex ftw

Wasn't talking to you :P

But yeah I don't think that the final product can actually lift things :P Would be cool though.

Shocking!

Seriously though, a small non-lethal electric current would probably be pretty arousing and/or pleasurable.

That was my idea. I'd be rich if it weren't of you.
 
Sorry, but like the French entrepenaur who stole the smiley face design from Harvey Ball and made millions off it without ever giving a penny to its original creator, I am laughing all the way to the bank.
