"Can't find your car? Hold your key fob up to your head. (Really.)"

"Holding the device up to your head means that its signal — electromagnetic waves of a particular frequency — passes through a large number of water molecules, contained in your brain. As these waves pass through, they pull the positive charges present in the water (the hydrogen ions) in one direction, and the negative charges (the oxygen ions) in the other.

"In effect, you've got the protons being pulled upward, then downward, then upward, then downward, because of the oscillating electric field," Bowley says. "That means they're behaving rather like a radio aerial [antenna] — as they go up and down, they're radiating energy.""

so... also if you have some water, you could just hold them up to that and it wouldn't look as weird. But this is cool, I would love to know what else can be extended with this method.
