Honey, you know that I was too close to the refrigerator magnets when I said that!

In an extraordinary experiment, researchers were able to use powerful magnets to disrupt this area of the brain and make people temporarily less moral. Well, a "chick magnet" would sure be cheaper than having to buy them drinks first.

I’m not sure why these scientists think this is significant. After all, it’s been possible to hijack people’s brains with drugs for years. Now they can do it with magnets.
But the brain is not the mind, and when they take away the drugs or turn off the magnet, the essential person is still there.

I like your positive outlook and faith in humanity. I was thinking of a conscienceless soldier.

I wonder if stereo headphones or earbuds would do the same.
Once or twice, I’ve had my cellphone sitting on the table next to a radio. Just a brief second BEFORE the cellphone would ring, the radio started making weird noises. I guess those are radio waves and not magnetic though.

Right, we are a bio-electrical-chemical system.

In a parallel story:
Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and other Democrat leaders have MAGGOTS in their brains, researchers say.

The moral compass lies in a part of the brain called the right temporo-parietal junction.(snip) just behind the right ear.
Well, you notice how degeneracy amongst the young really took off once they started holding transistor radios to their ears, increased rapidly with the advent of headphones, and has skyrocketed with the use of earbuds and cell phones.

Never underestimate the power of magnets, especially when it comes to attracting chicks.
