I must be magnetized

God I'm glad I live in California!!!

Clip a voltmeter between your earlobes, and see whether there is any
reading, and does it reverse when you change directions.

Been to Mekka already? Is a must have been there for lots of people.

I always tend to drift to the right. But I don't want to start another
political debate.

Get your hands on a gps, go to a huge field, apply blindfold, walk
straight as long as you can bear it, check the gps to see which
direction you favor.

I said Magnetized, not Charged.

Doesn't work when I'm walking. Only riding.

I tend to walk straight in the direction I wish to go;
though my head tends to rotate to face the nearest pair
of breasts.

Since you observe a difference between eastward travel and westward travel,
it is most likely related to the earth's magnetic field. If you have a
magnetic field of your own, this would interact with the earth's field,
which might explain the difference in drag. A conductor crossing a magnetic
field at right angles generates an EMF, and one might expect to observe a
difference between eastward and westward travel--hence, my suggested
experiment. :-)

I also suggest that you lie down, spread a piece of paper over yourself, and
have someone sprinkle iron filings on the paper. You might compare the
pattern in the filings between a head-east and a head-west orientation.

Incidentally, I would ignore any urges or ideas relating to aluminum foil
hats. It is very unlikely that this would tell you anything.

Nope. You're right. While we aren't all charged, we're
all possessed of large numbers of positive and negative
charge carriers and if we move in any magnetic field our
charges they will separate.

So it's not just me.

Now that would reveal something.

Or maybe a ferrofluid. I'll have to put my swim goggles on first.

Aluminum isn't paramagnetic enough.

I wouldn't discard the "aluminum hat theory" too quickly in Blairs' case.
After all, he thinks some guy named Gore - whoever he was - was actually
elected President.

I think this is not a problem unique to just you. I think all men
have this problem. I would not worry about it. ;-) Unless you're
married, then you may get a kick in the ass by your spouse. A well
deserved one. You could take a lesson from my husband and learn to
look at women without moving your head...just shifting your eyes. He
has it down to an art.

That's Coriolis force, I would imagine. In Australia, which is in
the southern hemisphere, you would probably drift to the left.

Could you try it, and report back to us please

My wife realizes that I have this "magnetic" attraction, but she handles it
a different way. SHE POINTS THEM OUT TO ME. Thus, she becomes part of the
solution. Demonstrating enormous self-confidence, she also makes me love
her more.

No, I know that some guy named Bush was not, in 2000.

Well, if neither of them were, then who was? I'm confused.
