Ann Coulter? For me, the weird thing is, I can't tell when there's an electric current, but people with the magnets in their fingers can tell. I suspect the difference is distance. The field around the wire drops off rapidly -- the NPR reporter who got the finger implant had to actually touch the wire and have the wire not be too insulated. If my magnetic sense is either in my sinuses or inner ear otoliths, I can't get close enough to sense the wire's field. The biggest mistake of running on the treadmill is screwing up and getting slammed head-first into the wall or table behind you.
