Think about it. Isn't light+eyes and ears+sound just the same in terms of their "influence at a distance"? We don't feel that as abnormal or magic - simply because we've sensors for them and are used to it. But physically speaking light and magnetism are based on electromagnetic forces.

Any nipple can be a magnetic antenna

I have nipples, Greg. Can you make me a magnetic antenna?

Would be handy for attaching your name badge, or if you need to put those little hard drive screws somewhere so you don't lose them.

That's actually a good idea.

Does the space cold

Make your nipples go pointy, Bowie?

Do you use your pointy nipples as telescopic antennae

Finally mens nipples get something to be useful at.

I vote for mens liberation and rights for magnetic nipples!
