I use a wallet with a money clip on the outside. The money clip uses two magnets to hold the folded dollah bills together. The two magnets both have a north and a south pole, and both magnets exert a field. Due to the magnetic fields, the two magnets are attracted to one another. The people who made the wallet had to make sure that the two magnets aligned so that opposite poles come in contact, otherwise the money clip would not work. If the two south poles were facing each other or the two north poles, the two magnets would repel each other and serve no purpose. Sometimes, if i lean against something metal, my wallet is attracted to it and pulls my pants out to stick to the metal. The metal has to be iron, nickel, or cobalt in order for my wallet to do this to my pants, and it is really quite annoying.

This weekend i watched Without a Paddle on Comedy Central. Three men go on a treasure hunt adventure, searching for a lost parachuter's body with stolen money in the woods. Their search seems to be hopeless, as the men have ran all over the mountain being chased by a bear, marijuana farmers, and a corrupt sheriff. Suddenly, one of the men makes a realization. There is a huge iron ore deposit in the mountain, and this iron would throw off a compass. Because the iron is a magnetic metal, it makes sense that it would throw off a compass. However, will an iron ore deposit in the ground become magnetized? idk.

I just had a strange, strange dream. I was sitting in my yard, and this mean bald guy wouldn't let me leave until i found an example of physics (i dont know why). Anyway, i sat there and watched. Nothing moved in a parabolic arc, nothing fell and accelerated to the ground at 9.8 m/s squared, and there were no elastic collisions to be seen. I sat there in perfect stillness as did everything else in my dream. I began to grow nervous, was i gonna be stuck there in the yard forever with the bald guy? As it turns out, i ended up growing very old and dying in my yard. When i woke up a few minutes ago, i realized that Newton's first law definitely applied. There were no forces taking place, so all objects at rest (everything) remained at rest. Duh!
