# I've got a 5 Tesla magnet at work.
We have to paint a yellow line around it with 'DANGER OF DEATH (to those with pacemakers, or pockets full of stek knives)'

edit: I have to admit, while we have to do the line and sign thing, we just haven't got round to it yet...

# Health and safey don't exist here.
We had a French chap turning a strange mixture of mottled grey and pink every time he was splashing litres of selenium waste around the place. You could smell it from nearly 100 metres outside the department, even with the fume hoods on full.
No-one, except me, gave a damn (apart from everyone complaining about smell).

# I remember the look on the department head's face
when I told him that the building would fail an EU inspection.

# hahaha... this pallet truck was sucked into an MRI scanner
and they reckon the magnets used in those are in the 0.5-Tesla to 3.0-Tesla range
