Have you heard him speak? he sounds exactly like Nigel Mansell.
As you were.
He's not quite that boring to listen too!
I recall there were a couple of guys who experimented with magnetic implants in their finger tips. Apparently, it was pretty successful, as they were able to determine live wires and such. If I remember correctly, they were computer repair technicians.

There was also a recent report that showed an increase risk of cancer at the site of the RFID implant in animals tagged with them. Personally, I wouldn't be willing to risk it for a slight increase in convenience
