Iron is the most common magnetic ore, but IIRC you can also use cobalt, nickel, and some rare Earth elements.
The iron doesn't have to be particularly pure. There is a naturally-occurring iron ore, magnetite, which is magnetized.

maybe the cockroaches eat a lot of spinach
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

Why would you not want to magnetise a cockroach?

So, put a magnet in your neighbours kitchen.

Ummm, I own a duplex and rent half to my neighbors.
I don't want them to have cockroaches, magnetized or otherwise.

Surely there are neighbours in a different building that you don't like?

I haven't lived here long enough to not like anyone yet. We've been here less than a year.
Adding, there's nobody in the place on the other side of us. They sold it and are gutting it.

The VB6 developer of course, it's an endangered species !

you'd make a sandwich out of a VB6 developer?

honey the codewitch wrote: what kind of sandwich would you make?
Given that I work in Western Digital's flash memory division, I'd say I make a very good sand-witch.

Pastrami, with melted swiss cheese and homemade Russian dressing. All of which I'd have to go to the store to get the ingredients, make the dressing, toast the bread, and make the sandwich.
In other words, the ex and the vb6 developer can both drown!

You're not the only one who LOL'd. But the rest of us didn't feel bad.

I'm eating it right now. Ham on wheat bread with just a touch of mayo, extra onion and extra crispy iceberg lettuce. Very plain, very delicious.

I guess we can figure out who your ex was, but who was the VB6 developer?
|

Same person.

The real question would be who would be saved if the ex, a vb6 developer, a politician and a lawyer are drowning.
The answer: The world.

My ex has too much mass to be even close to what you'd call boyant, so I wouldn't even see her.
I would ignore the VB developer and keep walking to Burger King.
