Captain Hook

I've come up with a new sense for submission to the branch of government that considers new senses:whichever branch takes care of such matters.

The new sense I speak of is the sense of magnetism.  I believe this would come in handy in certain situation and be nothing more than an annoyance for the greater part of people's lives.

The most obvious advantage to this is always being able to tell what direction one is walking sometimes.  This will come in handy when people are trying to find their way back to their cars after they've gotten drunk and lost their phones with GPS.

Secondly, it will be good for detecting things that magnetic shit could detect, like signals and shit. You know what I'm talking about.

The annoying part is that this sense will come right from the brain's core, leaving people susceptible to death from opposing magnetic forces flying at the head.  This makes this somewhat similar to walking backwards.  Walking backwards wasn't really all that fun, yet people would typically feel a sense of danger from doing it.  Having magnetic powers might be a little fun, but the fun likely won't last, and there will remain a need for caution while walking around, doing shit.

Bodies might also be capable of sending and receiving cell phone signals.  I say might because I don't really know how anything works.  Do cell phones use magnets?  Probably. It's not something anyone can really know for sure.

When people go to the grocery store, they will have an easier time finding the right foods to give them plenty of iron in their diets.  They simply buy the foods that stick to them.  They will also get plenty of nickel and cobalt.

On the plus side, people will be far less likely to die from natural causes.

On the other plus side, people will be far more likely to die quick, unnatural deaths.

Everybody wins.
