Not anymore, you're not.

And yeah, neodymium magnets are a female dog. Just messing around with a couple thin bar magnets shattered nearly all of them as they click together-- then, an unfortunate slip of the hand gave me a deeep cut along by thumb. Not fun :(

Okay, actually they are fun. Just be careful.
