Way OT: EM fingers!



Oh man, so I heard a report on NPR yesterday about a new type of Body Modification... this woman had a magnet attatched to the nerves inside her finger so she can feel electro-magnetic waves!
 
Like they say in the report, its not the most practical thing... but can you imagine how you could use this to feel your way around a keyboard, or a guitar.... your house?
 
Here is a link to the NPR report, you can listen to it there:
