Random Thought for Thursday 7/3/14

At the risk of ruining my street cred/reputation for verbosity, today's random thought is simply ... no.

As in NO the recent viral video saying you could open a bottle of beer with a magnet and a quarter DOES NOT WORK.

I'll feel good about the fact that my first instinct was to try it instead of just believing it after I saw it on the interwebs.  But I do have to admit that I was slightly disappointed as everyone loves a good party trick.

Last thought ... how's about my stock expression for dubiousness?
