Yea I kinda suspect the magnets (unless incredibly stupidly strong) would end up being more of a pain than a good thing!
(Hell even the stupidly strong ones would be a pain... I still remember the cautionary tale they kept telling us about a lab incident when renovation workers ignored the "no metal beyond this point line" at one of my old Uni's NMR suites... They figured that since the machine was off the magnet wasn't on. It's claimed that they came back to find their toolbox embedded in the cooling tower, and the liquid nitrogen had deoxygenated the room...
Not that that stopped one of the professors giving us steel tools to "Feel how strong the magnet is this close to the machine!!"
This was also the guy who, despite all the safety stuff warning against it, had his NMR machine in the
attic of his lab so if anything did go wrong the liquid nitrogen would rain down onto the floors below...)
It's really unfortunate that this company is more known for the
other kind of large doll, the dolls and outfits are adorable, but the embarassment factor for me is a bit too high for me to purchase!
Though I've got to admit the name didn't click/really register until I read about what else they produce!
