It was the left, and I guess her belt, that were stuck.
her watch probably. But, I still can't imagine that small bit of metal being that strongly magnetized. Maybe she had laundry quarters in her pocket.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Boxed Set, Vol. III: "That Can't Be Good..."
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Quarters aren't attracted by magnets. Canadian nickels are (at least they used to be) because they have a higher percentage of actual nickel in them than US nickels. So maybe she had a bunch of those twelve-sided nickels with the beaver on the back of them.
Or she has steel rods in her arms and spine from the terrible automobile accident she was in once upon a time.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Or an adamantium skeleton! Not that adamantium, you know, exists or is actually magnetic, but it worked like a charm in the first X-men movie.

Hah, Wikipedia is our friend:
In 1982 the composition [of the Canadian nickel] was changed [from 100% nickel] to the same as that of the American five-cent piece—cupronickel (75% copper and 25% nickel)—and in 2000 it was changed again, to nickel-plated steel.
So, they both had a whole bunch of nickel-plated steel Canadian nickels on their persons.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wait...it isn't magnetic? Magneto's used it to toss Wolverine around in comics too.

I bow before your Marvel knowledge -- I was (a) still in the "not that it exists" place in my mind and (b) just now thinking that I'm such a total DC fangirl and I should check before I say stuff like that.

Over the years, Magneto's used his powers on lots of metal that wasn't really magnetic. <waves hands...>

he's magnetizing the air particles around the object. It's how he flies waves hands.

Everything that doesn't exist is magnetic.
Except when it's not.
Magneto has also tossed people around by their haemoglobin, so he's a pesky critter.
But it was him that ripped the adamantium from Wolvie's bones back in the day.
