    I’ve heard this before (but it was explained to me as “iron in the nose”) and that it was why men have better (arguably!) navigational skills and direction sense, and possibly even better spatial reasoning - because men have larger deposits of the magnetic material than women.

    Interesting.

    So what happens when you go into an MRI machine?

    Carl: it was in a Home Improvement episode, I think. The neighbor told Allen about iron in the nose, and he made some bugger joke afterwards.
