Way, way cool.

This guy has implanted a magnet in his finger, which allows him to feel magnetic fields:

Another time I opened a can of cat food for my girlfriend's pets, and I sensed the electric motor running. My hand was about six inches away from the electric can opener, and I was able to sense where the motor was inside of the assembly. Again it brought my attention to a magnetic source that I understood intellectually, but would have otherwise been unaware of. I feel I am one step closer to fully grokking the reality I inhabit.
