But he's a scientist. Dose mutha fuckas be tellin' lies, and gettin me pissed.
Lol. Ya know ICP sure became a meme because of that bullshit Miracle video. I also do not think Kage tells lies XD
Oh yea they're totally a meme.
They've even become confirmed by "know your meme.com"

not sure if this is a serious question or a joke, but i will bite anyways. :Þ
it has to do with alignment of electric charges. in magnetic objects that do not have magnetism the charges are pointing in different (usually just random) directions. in a magnet the charges are all pointing in the same direction. if you split a magnet in half you just end up with a smaller magnet. :Ð

the joke is i cant ask a scientist cause thier lieing and getting everyone pissed its a case of everyone ripping on icp for the song they made it is a joke hun :P
no punctuation makes the previous statement confusing. :Þ
Magnets are not medicine? I'm thinking they are talking about using magnets, like hematite in specifics for ridding yourself of headaches.
I think it works lol. Hematite is my best friend for headaches

well then use it, as long as it works!
though the effect is most likely deductible from placebo, that doesn't change that it cures your headache

I am so using that cartoon when I defend for my masters. The area I am studying has been treated as one of those miracle steps by most scientists without really being understood or studied.
i first saw it in "the grand design" by steven hawking. :Ð
Today at my town's christmas crafts fair (It was like the dealers den for christmas con) I picked up a pamphlet on magnetic therapy from a table that was selling magnetic jewelry. I had my family in hysterics as I read the wretched thing aloud.
There IS however some interesting unpublished work to come out of my lab showing very definite effects of magnets on... well I don't want to say because it isn't published but it's an experiment a third grader could set up and demonstrate some amazing things and we still don't know what is going on exactly. I do agree that the medical applications are nothing but snake oil.

Not yet that I know of. He has a lot of backed up results to publish.
Damn, would have loved what kind of surprising results you've observed :)
Then your inhibitor chip would malfunction. Haven't you ever seen Futurama?
Instant amnesia + seizure, possible fatal stroke with CPU failure along the lines of a critical brain hemorrhage? >.>
Tiny lightning bolts coursing around in circles.
No, tinier.
Still tinier.
No, tinier.
Still tinier.
OMG thank you Kage. It blows my mind that people fall for this rubbish time and time again. Except now its not magnets its rubber bands with plastic holographic stickers on them.
People first say that science is a con to get us all to follow scientists' lead...then they complain about getting conned when their 'magic magnets' didn't remove their ulcer or repair their broken bones.
But magnets ARE medicine: MRI scans! Well...not medicine as such, but a tool to see what's wrong with the patient and diagnose does count as medicine in my book.

I think I love this man more than previously. How far along are we on genetic engineering male childbearing so he can have my babbies? :D
Anyhow, opportunistic shameless plug of my favorite podcast the Skeptic's Guide to the Universe, about all news and matters on pscience and pseudopscipence:

Give me a shout if you also listen :} Would love to contact other interested furses.

I wonder if Kage saw a similar presentation given by Michael Crichton in 2005: http://crichton-official.com/video-.....dependent.html

Magnets do have medical purrrpose lol... used as tools mostly (magnetic resonance scanner, then that machine that acelerates the regrowth of the cartilage on the joints, also some makeshift surgeon tools during WW had magnets on the end to pull out steel (and similar) bullets/shrapnel out of the body)
althou i must admit most of the tools i mentioned are wery powerful electromagnets that can affect even non metal objects (but the one for the cartilage basically draws and keeps the building materials like iron and some minerals needed for regeneration thus speeding the healing that would last for months to weeks)
and yea i do know cartilage is mostly calcium. I also heard that some heavy metal poisonings were "cured" bu filtering the blood (basically a machine would pump the blood throu some filters and throu a wery powerful magnetised tube and the filtered blood would be pumped back into the body) but i didn't see that one in purrrson...

Fascinating :) I do recognize that guy from someplace (sorry, I live in a barn).
Some horse people are obsessed with how magnets fix all their horses' ailments. There are companies with booths at trade shows, staffed by very handsome blonde men with Scandinavian accents, who will tell you all about how their magnetic blankets will help you. Help by lightening your wallet and shrinking your bank account, perhaps!
