Several times a month, I will be in a store aisle reaching for something and feel a hand going up the inside of my thigh. When I turn around to find myself alone with a woman, and ask her if she would prefer me to hold still so she can get a better feel for the situation, oftentimes she will act "shocked" claiming nothing had happened, it must be somebody else...

I'm not sure what makes it "quantum" exactly, but this is pretty cool: http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2011/10/quantum-levitation/

I guess it's "quantum" because the underlying principles have to do with the magical voodoo of electrons and energy states, or something. :?

The important take-away point here, however, is HOLY SHIT THAT'S COOL HOW DO I GET ONE?!?!

Spontaneous magnetic alignment in ferrous materials is a quantum effect I suppose though I would more commonly know it as an electromagnetic effect.

But it looks cool anyway.

If you have some Yttrium, Barium, and Copper Oxide, I have a kiln.

How hard could it be?
