Today I had friends come over to my place.

I'm not sure why, but except for my cousin this hasn't happened in an absolutely platonic context/mindset in a long, long time.

It was a boyfriend/girlfriend couple I've known for some time. I talked to the female for a long time as one of those "romantic pursuit, maybe? someday? perhaps?" things before she got really attached to her boyfriend. I talk to her occasionally online and then they come over together and the boyfriend and I just bullshit for hours about esoteric stuff while she stares at my walls. It's great.

Tonight we were talking about science and technology. When I mentioned that scientists had, years ago, magnetized a spider, he mentioned that it's theoretically possible to permanently magnetize a human body. I pointed out that, despite what you'd think from MRI scans, this would actually kill you because of interference with the ionization principles that keep the heart pumping. But, I offered that a human cadaver could potentially be magnetized.

I then threw out the idea that you could teach kids about magnetic polarity by iron filing demonstrations that show that the corpse's nipple area is in the north pole, then once you cut the body in half, PRESTO! Now the nipple area is the SOUTH pole! Science is magic!

He then called me "a monster".
