Magnetic Putty ‘Eating’ A Piece Of Metal (Source)
I think basically what is going on here is that the putty has a strong charge that is opposite the charge of the magnet. The two objects therefore attract each other and as a result, the magnet gets engulfed into the viscous fluid like putty.

These, for me, are the two most depressing paintings in western history. They were painted by post-impressionist Henry de Toulouse-Lautrec, a man who, due to inbreeding, was born with a genetic disorder that prevented his legs from growing after they were broken. After being so thoroughly mocked for is appearance, he became an alcoholic, which is what eventually caused his institutionalization and death. His only known romantic relations were with prostitutes. And then he paints something like this which is so beautiful and tender and sentimental. It seems like the couple in bed really loves each other—cares about each other. Wakes up happy to look at each other. And I see that love and passion and I wonder how lonely he must have been. I wonder how he could paint something like this without it breaking his heart. Maybe they say artists should create what they know, not because its unbelievable when they extend themselves beyond their experiences, but because when they pull it off with such elegance, it’s so damn unbearable to look at. I hate thinking of Lautrec, wondering about the lovers he created and knowing it was beyond his experience. Creating something that he knows is beautiful and knows he’ll never really understand.

The woman heard talking is Lisa Mahone, with her boyfriend after being pulled over for not wearing seatbelts. Her two children were in the backseat, and it was her 14-year-old son, Joesph, who recorded the encounter on his phone.
According to the Hammond Police, one of the cops pulled a gun when Lisa’s boyfriend, Jamal, reached behind the console, “presumably to grab a weapon.”
Jamal refused to get out of the car because he “feared for his life” and would only crack the window a little bit in order to hand them the identification they asked for.
The family is suing for damages to the vehicle as well as malice and reckless force. The two children in the back seat were injured from the cop breaking the glass.
