Do you remember--

--watching Wile E. Coyote assemble that great big Acme electromagnet in a cave, and it started grabbing stuff like cars and satellites and finally a huge missile and then blowed up?

That was pretty cool.

But not nearly as cool as this, via The Straight Dope's Weird Earl's feature: DANGER! Flying Objects!

See, it turns out that the "M" in MRI stands for Magnetic, and when they turn on the juice, you better make sure you're not standing between the doughnut and that unsecured toolbox...

So far I haven't seen any flying magnetic objects while getting MRIs.

Just be sure to keep your eyes closed.
