[QUOTE=Inner Stickler] Whoops. Where’d my mind go? [The correct link for the rebuttal.](http://youtube.com/watch?v=xvIY0w4j1FA) Basically the Blendtec video says, “Woo, we’re blending neodymium magnets! They’re so strong!” and the rebuttal says, “Those are not neodymium magnets, they look more like ceramic magnets! Don’t lie and don’t misquote Back to the Future.” [/QUOTE] Because the Delorian was powered by plutonium rods stolen from terrorists, and not by neodymium. Duh! 🆒 ---

[QUOTE=davidm] I think the phrase “get a life” might be relevant here. Why is that guy so damned upset about what type of friggin’ magnets they are? :rolleyes: [/QUOTE] Because he really likes magnets? I dunno. I only brought it up because it seemed related to the discussion. If it’s irritated you that badly, then I apologize. ---

[/QUOTE] 😕 Relax. It didn’t irritate me at all, where did you get that impression? I certainly had no beef with you so there’s no need to apologize. Yes, it was related to the discussion and there was nothing wrong with you posting it. I just had to wonder why the guy had such a bug up his ass about it that he felt the need to make that video. The “get a life” comment was aimed at him. It was all in fun, just like this thread. ---

[QUOTE=davidm] \ I just had to wonder why the guy had such a bug up his ass about it that he felt the need to make that video. \ [/QUOTE] Because the dude makes lots of videos, and there’s a big difference between blending ceramic magnets and blending… umm, what were we talking about? ---

It was all in fun, just like this thread. [/QUOTE] You obviously don’t spend a lot of time perusing youtube vlogs. People rant about the tiniest things that bug them. It’s a lot like the Pit, only it’s video rather than text and most of the responses are spam. > [@Pygmy Rugger](#): > > Because the dude makes lots of videos, and there’s a big difference between blending ceramic magnets and blending… umm, what were we talking about?]Ground up Delorean magnets. No, wait. Libyan terrorists with blenders. Hang on… ---

Oops. Even with editing I screwed up the coding. Hey mods?! ---

[QUOTE=Mangetout] Make the nasty man stop. I’m impressed with the blenders, but I’m not sure I’d want to buy one after it’s blended a bunch of marbles or some such - that is how it works isn’t it? - the ebay auctions are for the blended item and the blender that was used to blend them (which lets face it, is going to be a bit damaged, unless it’s made of unobtanium) [/QUOTE] Probably not even then. Unobtanium is the rubbery stuff that keeps your Oakleys from falling off. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/will-it-blend-iphone-edition/411422.md?page=1)
