Magnetic implant gives body modder a sixth sense

Magnetic implant

Gather round, modern primitives, to hear the tale of one Todd Huffman, who says he can now sense electric fields after implanting a magnet into one of his fingers. Since the implant, he's had sensory experiences at the local library with the walk-in scanner, and could sense the position of the motor inside an electric can opener. Now all of us neo-tribalists bored with regular old piercing have something new to ponder. Let's just hope Steve never needs an MRI.
