Gosh, Timothy. Just when I was praising you for getting the scoop on Hemos [slashdot.org], you go and post this story in light of this story posted by chrisd [slashdot.org].

On-topic: Do these have magical healing powers like regular magnets?

This is a repost of an article from a couple days back. The last one was one the main page too, so it has a rather extensive discussion if anyone somehow missed it and wants to see it: http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=01/10/17/202521 8 (there shouldn't be any spaces in that URL, but for some reason when I'm previewing it a space keeps appearing between the last 8 and the 1 proceeding it. no idea why)

Thats because slashdot seems to break up really long words since slashdot was upgraded to banjo. Why, i don't know.

The correct way to make a link is to make it html (you know, blah [slashdot.org]).
