Magnetic implants. They look so real!

Not what you're thinking! This one comes from the blog Zentastic. The author, Shannon Larratt, had magnets implanted into her fingers so that she could sense magnetic fields. I have a great aversion towards anything dealing with blood, cutting, or pain in any aspect, so I will not post the pics here.

Apparently, you can "feel" magnetic fields as you erase vital information from your hard drive with a touch/ stop a pace maker with a pat on the back/ interact with ordinary objects.
