Super magnet...cutting off circulation...

So in my bathroom for some reason, there is a bunch of super magnets stuck to a shelf. My 2nd oldest brother used them for a Physics experiment a couple of years back when he was in high school a couple years back. He had a lot, so there are a lot of his excess in the bathroom. When I say super, I mean SUPER. It was nearly impossible to separate a pair of them, and if a piece of your skin is in between them right before they attach to each other, prepare for pain. I was very tempted to try to stick them on my mouth when I had braces, and even now with my teeth implants, but the force of the magnet would have been too great, causing the braces to bend, and my implants to destroy my gums/jaw as they attract to the magnet.

(Pardon the upside-downness. Me being left handed did not help me when I was using the camera.)

Usually, whenever I have a couple magnets, I try to put one on one side of my hand and a second on the other side, hoping their magnetic properties would keep them there. Sadly, the majority of those magnets were really weak, so they just fell to the ground. Good thing I didn't have any electronics around when I played with them, or they'd die. The super magnets were different; their magnetic field was strong enough to overcome the displacement of my fleshy hand and stay there. It was so freaky; when I moved one magnet, the other would move like how, as a kid, I saw people moving paper clips across a piece of paper. Even when I had a weaker magnet paired with the colossal beast, the magnets had no trouble staying.

Yay for magnetism! I'm scared because my hand is still feeling the magnets squishing it together...At least they weren't strong enough to break through my hand...
