An Australian astrophysicist who hoped to create a device to help stop people catching the coronavirus has ended up in hospital - after getting magnets stuck up his nose.

Dr Daniel Reardon came up with a plan to create a necklace which would react if your hands were near your face.

Unfortunately, the device did not work quite as planned.

I have no words other than the fact that this man is a scientist like Dr. Bunsen Honeydew is a scientist. All he's missing is Beaker next to him freaking out and shrieking. :P

Emergency room physicians are forever retrieving god know what from hither and yon.

There are websites devoted to this.

I didn’t realize epidemiology was a budding hobby. We have this astrophysicist in this example, and we also have people in the MSM, Congress and Hollyweird who are all amateur epidemiologists too!

I used to work with a very loud-mouthed individual who loved nothing more than playing a good practical joke. If he happened to walk by and saw you with your hands anywhere near your face, he’d yell out in a voice so loud that everybody could hear, “Stop picking your nose!” If you protested that you weren’t picking your nose he’d yell out, “Yes you were! You were all the way to the second knuckle!”

Dang. When my son was about 3, he got pea gravel up his nose. But he was 3 and not yet a scientist.
