An Australian astrophysicist has been admitted to hospital after getting four magnets stuck up his nose in an attempt to invent a device that stops people touching their faces during the coronavirus outbreak.
He just looks. Sooooooo PISSED that it didn’t work!!!!!!
Monash University. Say no more. Love the part where his girlfriend takes him to the hospital she works at so her friends could get a laugh out it! BTW, my nephew is in the same program... I just hope he doesn’t get too nosy. COVIDIOTS
My kid was inventing a coronavirus device with an avocado stem
I assume this is the natural course of events for someone who studies gravitational waves when left to his own devices.
Ha ha ha He should have stuffed a roll of toilet paper up his nostrils first!
steve_hofmeyr Just say 'no' when they ask if you agree to lodging a ballbearing up your arse.
It could happen to anyone, but really shouldn't ;-)
Wait!.. What?!.... Maybe he is 'bipolar'....... Trump2020 🇺🇸 ChineseWuhanVirus
Give him a break people!! It’s not rocket science, it’s astrophysics!! 😆😆
When I was 8 I had to go to the doctor to have a peanut I put up my nose because I didn't like the smell of something cooking. Frankly my fix worked. This guy is just an idiot.
Face now keeps turning North.
Likely brilliant with little common sense. Poor guy. I knew a 3yr old child who stuffed a few Legos in his nose and had to go to the ER.
Dude puts the ASS in asstrophysicist. Books smarts = 100 Common sense = ZERO.
What in bloody (NOSE )hell ?
His mum must be very proud.
Nana_MAGA2020 Ever worked with corkscrew pasta?
Astrophysicist huh? Genius
Once, or maybe twice, when I was a kid, I stuck M&Ms up my nose. They just melted though. Must be a Reardon thing? 🤷🏼♂️
This is a very inspiring story. It proves that you do not actually need to be smart to become an astrophysicist. So don't let anything stand in your way. xD
This is Golden!! 😂😂 What is an astrophysicist doing trying to invent such a thing in the first place!! 😂😂 Why not invent something to kill off the virus instead.. a weapon of sorts...
The technology already exists to prevent face touching. It’s called makeup 💄. Put on some foundation, powder, blush, mascara, eyeshadow, etc., and then don’t mess it up ALL DAY. And then wash it off at night 🧼 👍
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Also 200kg of cocaine seized in Sydney. Coincidence ?
Sheldon?
Magnificent: Smart as hell, but no common sense.
Idiot
Yes, we really do have the most brilliant minds of our time toiling away to ease the burden of the coronavirus, don't we?
HPluckrose Nash076 Rarely has a PhD wished their title to simply be 'random dumbass' so much
Would probably be better to have a necklace and a bracelet that beep when they close to each other. Why was this in his nose?! Wouldnt want this guy building anything.
'Smart' is not a scalar property.
He strikes me as the Doctor who would tell you 'I'll give you ANOTHER 6 months' after he told you 'you have 6 months to live' and you told him that you cant pay the bill!
it’s not rocket science to not get stuff stuck in ur face. Bet he feels reeeeal stupid atm
The
Fuckin magnets.
Nonessential procedure
This surely will become a great meme.
😂 oh well I guess he can say that was a failed experiment...next...😂
Sinus Fiction
Stick some lego magnets up there
He should have known that this can only go south.
Omg. 🤪 TheExpanse weschatham
Turn that frown upside-down!
Staying home is not rocket science, mate.
Right...like that time my bro was riding his bike, and someone threw a nickle into the air just as he looked up, and it fell into his mouth and lodged in his throat.
Looks more like a Betoota Advocate or Onion headline
I wonder where he got the idea from, hmmm 🤔🤔🤔
my emotional support covid19 laugh
Wtf
Wut?
neiltyson
This is me in 4 years.
😂😂😬🤣 I’m sorry but that’s awfully funny lol
I wonder what Astrobiology_OU would do?
had to double check that this wasn’t the onion
Ha Ha Ha!!
His love for magnets originated from the attraction of magnets.
I am sorry I am laughing at this.
🧲 🧲🧲 Several magnets up his nose Why? How? WTF? 🧲🧲🧲

I read a report once of a man who got a Hoover pipe stuck up his ass ,,I don't think he was an astrophysicist, and I'm not sure what the experiment was about, but apparently it works better than prunes 😅😅
Are you really a scientist if you don’t do something stupid once in a while
MavrocksGirl Well, he's no rocket scientist.....
F
r/offbeat
Dummy
_DVance_ things could always be worse—at least this isnt you
This is hilarious, but serves to illustrate a somewhat scientific point. Namely, science is a number of specialised disciplines. Astrphysics does not make you an electrician or electrical engineer.
This story is funny. However, as I met a 13yo who did the same thing with physicists dads super magnets—only on his foreskin—I can only give you the silver medal. It was a long time ago and he was in renal failure s/p his home circumcision. Took 4 of us to pry them off!
He smart but not smart smart
This just hurts...in more ways than one
With a name like Prof. Rear-done, he should’ve gotten those magnets stuck up his ass!
Imagine being this guy
I mean I understand how but why
Hey HabitAware
Wandering far outside his field of expertise.
The shxt is funny! And that necklace is stupid
This isn't satire?
Thats the best excuse he could come up with?
May the magnetic force be with you.
If he’s successful, he would make good money on this.
adonnelly50 It doesn’t say he got his degree from university of Phoenix, and minored in polo sci.

This happened to me...when I was 12.
He is trying his best
New level of boredom clearly kicked in
Even the smart people can be dumbasses at times
This is an Onion story, right?
As my drill sergeant used to say, 'the smartest dumbass I've ever seen.'
In my country we put these people in cage. It is quite difficult to catch crazy crazy but when we do we put them in cage.
Why not just invent invincible, germ eliminating gloves.
jurylady5 idiots come in all levels if low intelligence it seems
This guy nose something we dont. 🤣🤣🤣
This is what happens when leftists try to 'do' science.
Magnets or no, this guy's got a job for life.
GilpinPeri perrybruno_ Like Myles
🤣🤣🤣
I mean... A for effort ... but why let yourself get pictures for this story?!! I am embarrassed and I didn't stick magnets up my nose!
Only of his mom was there to tell him not to do it
I hate how much this validates everything my old engineer roommate said about us physicists.
This is hilarious! I needed this laugh more than I thought! 😄👏🏼❤️🤣 Thank you Thank you!!
This is exactly what I told my wife happened to me, except it was cocaine, not magnets.
He looks upset
That must have been embarrassing. I know when my son was for he was quite embarrassed he gotten a toy car stuck in his nose and we had to go to the doctors to get it removed. I hope he's okay
No matter how much schooling one may have, you just gotta have some common sense.
How? 😯
clarasmatic_42 did you say
It’s not quite as funny as how few people have heard of Emilie du Chatelet, yet her work showed how energy and momentum are conserved - go figure
astrosnifflesist
I can't believe he consented to having this picture used 😪
Thank you so much for your work and all your efforts
Definitely Went to a magnet school
seaweedfarmer TheDeepikaKurup wish I was this magnetic

Idea and intention was not bad, but you completely forgot about 'Risk Assessment' before executing your ideas, dude - Not good.

A nose for .......... physics?
Fake nose.
More like, Real Stupid !!!!!!!
His head was in the stars.
How was this not the onion?
Yeah exactly who you want working on something important. The company should fire him just for bring a bad name.
This reminded me of you & the incident in middle school MuggleFaceMike lmao
Magneto🕴️
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣
RodtheDawg 😂😂😂😂😂
When I was four inhaled a marble and the Dr. Didn’t believe my mother. She made them take an X-ray They got it out with forceps.
Let’s get one for my Dick
Snot gonna work.
The future story he will tell to his grandchildren will start something like this... “So I was working on a way to not touch my face so I shoved a magnet up my nose...”
Astrophysicist, eh? Not going to ask where he lost his telescope....
PeterLanagan
😂🤣 Best story I've read in a while.
polarising figure
So sorry to laugh, but did they model Sheldon on Big Bang Theory after this guy? I really needed this today😂
Attaboy Danny ! 🤪
That was a great story. Thanks for the laughs!!!!
That’s attractive.
Sniffing for iron ionized air before entering the lungs😂😂😂
Cmon guy it's not rocket science
The device fires magnets up your nose when you touch your face. Nice one, could work
Zero flux given
Is he related to Trump? TheDuhHurts
Sacrifices must be made for the good of mankind.
load of bollocks
The difference between a research fellow and an engineer. Engineers make it work in the real world, researchers.....not so much
I mean, we've all been there right? Right?
To all Physicists....Please call an engineer before attempting any kind of manual work..thank you
So just because your an Astrophysicist, you lack common sense? Or do they operate on a toddler’s mentality?
He's gon' get the girls amirite?
So your 4 yo gets a magnet stuck up his nose, and you tell er doc he’s a genius.
The irony of being a genius is that you can also be a dumb ass. 😂
poor bugger ... now those boogers
It sure is quite funny
They have people trapped doing experiments like Hitler did. Who puts magnets up your nose for this, why are you guys listening & dealing with this? Be aware of your surroundings. Trump has been around more people lately & doesn't have it but was sick right before. Put it together
This may be the funniest news of the coronavirus era. Thank you for your service.
Stay Away from an MRI😧
I guess you could say that they were really attached to their work.
There's no shame in this. It happened to me too when I was 4 and I invented a magic trick to make a magnet disappear
It’s not rocket science. 😰
The smartest people can do the dumbest things. Thank you for constantly trying to discover. It's easy to make fewer mistakes by not taking risks. Wish u great success.
Well...no one said Astrophysicists had common sense... yeah book smart.... prolly still living in his parents basement as well... :) Good luck with that... :)
At least he had a go and tried it out. Fair play to him, so what if it went wrong. Shit happens
I guess it was an effective experiment 😂 He’ll always be reminded not to touch his face now.
Ah yes, the neodymium rare earth metal strikes again. Schoolboy error. Only supposed to put one into any given orifice, and the other to pull it out
MAG.......nificent!!!!
The world is going through a pandemic while this person is shoving magnets up his nose 👌
AdamJoy42
Humans embedding magnets why why why? Dumbdumb is dumbdumb does. Smart does not equal CommonSense.
That’s his fifteen minutes of fame used up.
Please don’t let him change a lightbulb 💡
That's not rocket science.
A dumb genius
And that folks is why the government should not have to pay for your higher education. Lol
Brilliant 😂🤣
Pure comedy gold😂
Magneto is born
Is this for real? It can’t be. Can it..?!
He had an attractive nose though!
DancingTheMind Would have been a great story had he been from Poland...a Pole. Still, an expert in his field...and we should ignore the negatives and embrace the positive aspects of this story.
Once in a great while, Australia does remind me of Florida.
That's what I call a sticky situation.
A hero then
Astrophysics ain’t rocket science. Or is it?
Attractive guy
To quote that great American philosopher Larry The Cable Guy: GitHerDun!
Eastcaleb_ why does this remind me of you
magnetic nose👃
Lets hope he doesn’t lose any attraction
What a great idea😂 nosefuture
Ralph has a chance of growing up to be a scientist afterall, not just Lisa 😂😂
I think he overthought this particular need.
My 3 year old once got a LEGO stuck up his nose. The ER staff thought it was funny too, but it was 16 years ago when they weren’t busy with a global pandemic. 😗
To think that's what you're going to be known to the world...lol. Can't say he didn't try!
I sneezed and spaghetti came out of my nose. The other end of the noodle was still in my mouth. Effectively flossing my soft palate. I am now an astrophysicist.
Well that IS a little unusual. One wonders at the methodology used in this project. Wishing you a speedy recovery 🙏
It was inevitable
Happens so often, ER has a tool for retrieving items shoved up your nose When my son was 4, he started weirdly blowing his nose... looked up with a flashlight & there was spiderman's hand...waving at me Doc sprayed anaesthetic took a cool tube with a tiny claw & pulled it out
This story immediately made me think of the phrase 'smartest dumbass I ever knew.'
This is what toddlers do, for heavens sake! Not funny at all. 🙄
The kind of story we all need right now. ⬆️ It just gets better and better. *literally crying laughing* sethmeyers russellhoward stephenfry hughlaurie
You can’t make this stuff up!
Taking one for the team. Hope your necklace ends up working! Cheers. COVID AfterIsolation
Is the Guardian the new TheOnion ?
Is he Brazilian? Kind of have to be .
This reminds me of a friend’s short story: BB Up My Nose.
Way to go, science. Now people will say they're doing research.
I know a child who had to have a jelly bean removed from his on Easter morning morning a year ago because he is not an Astrophysicist lol
SheldonCooper, right?
Dude...you're not a rock scientist...
Was the as(s)trophysicist inventing a device that would SNIFF OUT coronavirus? Or was he undertaking the SMELL test, as part of rigorous Quality Assurance (QA) testing process? He seems like a nosy type, who had to poke his nose. COVID19 Covid_19 COVID19Ontario covid19Canada
First they eat tide pods, then they snort condoms, when that didn't work the went for the magnets. 😂🤣
Reminds me of that time when I got a marble stuck up my nose when I was three.
SallyR_ISLHE This is the only headline I needed today.
Hope he is ok. Admirable thought. True entrepreneur where he put skin in the game. Keep up the fight and better luck next time .
This is what happens when doctor who becomes a woman
I AM smarter than a rocket scientist! Who knew!
I wasn't expecting that, neither was he I dare say! 😂😂😂😂😂 I do hope all well, party piece fir years to come?
Coronavirus gadget? How can I lose?
That goes to show you, a degree doesn’t = being smart 🤣
Have we considered wearing a mask which will do same, plus restrict and protect from airborne contagions?
Time is money But space is a long, long time!
Coronavirus can't get into your nose if it's blocked with magnets so I'd call this mission success.
I hate to laugh at the misfortune of others, but this is just the comic relief I needed.
“My partner took me to the hospital that she works in because she wanted all her colleagues to laugh at me'
Too clever by half
AwardsDarwin 👏👏
I don’t think he should give up playing with magnet tho. Just ... LoL
Powered electrode on head, powered electrode on back of hands = get too close and you'll strike an arc through your hand. That'll discourage touching your face. Maybe one or two safety issues but meh
Oz Aussie Austrlians are proud of this Kangaroo
Isn't this the kind of shit a 3 year old does WTF.
The levels of humiliation this man went through is a sight to behold. “My partner took me to the hospital that she works in because she wanted all her colleagues to laugh at me.”
Ok this put me in slightly good mood
Well hoping he is better
Sounds like something Chanandler Bong would do.
Well he clearly hasn't heard the saying, 'Don't stick your nose in things you don't understand'
Absolutely hilarious 😂
👍
What?
“I decided to Google the problem and found an article about an 11 YEAR OLD boy who had the same problem.” 😂
Coronovirus be like, ' I am just not attracted to you'.
Doctor: So anyone try sticking some magnets up your nose? Could work, don’t know if you try.
Astrophysicist. Some are book smart, common sense stupid.
How, did he have a steel plate in his head
Oh, Lort! This reminds me of the time me and my best friend got a spankin' from his Mama because she caught us on the front porch shooting Peanut M&M's out of our nostrils! The things kids do! 😂💜🐸💜😂
Remember when magnet earrings were a thing in like the early 90s? I got one of those stuck up my nose
Bless his heart...bored, and trying to help. More importantly, in today’s age, I find his honesty about the whole situation refreshing.
Just goes to show higher degrees don’t translate to common sense!
Yeah..everyone is laughing now..wait until u need his expertise when that giant asteroid nears Earth at end of April! 😝😝😝 ***I can only say this bcuz my son is an astrophysicist too... Astrophysicist. Asteroid
You know, at a time like this I’m not gonna knock this guy for trying.
How old is he, two? 😂😂😂
WTF. How does 1 get that up ur nose? U stuck up ur nose? WHY
Sounds like an ICP fan
🤦🤦🤦
Well..props for inventiveness.
Poor chap...
Suddenly my nose hurts 😳😳😳😳😳
He's a magnet for trouble. 😁
Astrophysicist = pseudoscience
Later that day after the magnets were extracted.......
That snot gonna work.
Thank you Dr Daniel Reardon for your invention :)
Cc: AndrewMayne brycas JustinRYoung shwood currentgeek morningstream
🤭
We are doomed. You were the hope bro, you were the hope. 😂
Well, it's not rocket science is it?
Haha
he just wanted to know what it smelt like
This is like an article from The Onion!
So have the magnets gotten tested?
As a fellow Astrophysicist I can relate to the non mixing of Physics with Biology - this part really finished me off though; “My partner took me to the hospital that she works in because she wanted all her colleagues to laugh at me.' 🤣👌👏🙏🌹glad 2 hear he's ok & keep inventing
Can’t make this stuff up. Hope he’s okay. Imagine the moment when you go....”nope not coming out....better go to the hospital” and then the triage nurses face.
“Astrophysicist”
I’d love it if his mum had a little boy pic making the same frowny face.
It's 1April in Australia, right? Because this is just too too funny
Another genius.
Why didn’t he just use a giant horseshoe shaped one to suck them out, like in the cartoons?
I love this guy! Much love to him for trying to create something to help others and just as much to him for simply being human.
“I accidentally invented a necklace that buzzes continuously unless you move your hand close to your face,” he said. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂😂😂 He accidentally built a necklace that makes sure you touch your face or it won't stop buzzing. I am fucking dead.
Is he a toddler? 🙄
Pre-2020: 'Way to go, Einstein' Post-2020: 'Way to go, Reardon'
People get paid for this stuff? 🙄 I know when I touch my face, without a necklace.
I really thought this was an Onion piece at first. Smdh. 🧐🤣
Idiot
TheSkyFellHard
Hey he might feel embarrassed but at least he was trying to help.
So many questions...
My son did this with some corn when he was 2. Not sure what he was trying to invent.
Are we sure he wasn’t trying to just stop nose picking?
😂 👃
Picture ?
JaneSamuels He would have really been embarrassed if he was using magnets to cure piles.
his face aww lol
Is he afraid of infecting the Mars colony?
I once got a conker stuck up my nose but I was only about 8 at the time.
I got a pussywillow bud stuck in my ear canal as a kid trying to make ear plugs. Yup.....
The essence of invention and innovation: you get it wrong, maybe many times, before you get it right.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know you shouldn't put things up your nose...
Be well!
This is the most up-lifting story on twitter today. This young man sniffed out an idea that had incredible magnetism. I find it iron-ic that his lodestone necklace so polarized his partner’s current co-workers. I’m just gonna torque on out...
I shoved a dry kidney bean up my nose as a kid and had to go to the doctor. Creative genius.
lol he doesn’t look happy
So, a bed and hospital staff had to waste their time on this guy instead of the serious coronavirus and medical cases at the hospital 🙄
Accidentally invents device to keep your glasses from sliding down your face. He should be rich.
Meant well, looks annoyed with self, bet it hurt to get them out, and even worse to hear the jokes😂
What a plonker
It's not rocket science....oh wait
brittmcast this is colton
You mean a NostrilPhysicist don't you
anandilila the content we need
'At this point I ran out of magnets' is what I'm going to say from now on when I find myself at a loss.
dancindoti 😂 I learned NOT to stick small acorns up my nose in GRADE SCHOOL! 🤷♂️
😉
Did hear he has a magnetic personality --- coronavirus
It’s no excuse for how he got a carrot stuck up his arse though.
They forgot to ask the most important question: were the magnets sanitized?
Watching Jeffy will do that.
You can be super smart and super dumb at the same time
.......you sure he's an astrophysicist?
“Astrophysicist” 😬 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Is that like falling over and getting a bottle stuck up your *rse?
greatphilip
PhD are never going to live this down
Astrophysicist An astrophysicist got four magnets stuck up his nose while trying to invent ... a necklace
robinince how many times have you been tagged with this story so far? ;)
I thought this was a spoof article ab Sheldon cooper for a second
This has made my isolation...
His face is all I need to know about how feels about getting his picture taken for this story 😂
How very Sheldon of him.
Lol
Dawniewouldnt Woah. Bogus
Youve got to be kidding.. 😳
Go West, young man, go West.
This is why physicists shouldn’t do anything related to biology 😂
😬🙄👃🤦♀️🤧🤥🤔
'Denies further magnets' ROFL.
TFTimeMachine not the worst place to get magnets stuck though is it?
Sorry - 🤔😂😂😂😂😂
ValerianForrest Has he tested positive?
Don't put magnets up your nose, it's not exactly rocket science.
AliceAvizandum raaleh
Or least that was the excuse he came up with. Bloke probably just got bored in quarantine & shoved ‘em up there.
In the name of science 🤣
Fuckin' magnets, how do they work?
acrispy3 Court_Craw
I just love the Brits.
AlfyBurbank No common sense.
Isn't this really an Onion piece?
also him '... We are also renovating our house, so I am building shelves, making furniture and doing some tiling.” 😎
Will he attain the sense of direction that homing pigeons have?
Pyrmha Twin brothers
May be sound stupid, but still much better than those who refuse to wear face masks or insist to go out given the lock down order.
Confirmed juggalo
That's his story & he's sticking too it :D
Don’t try at home.
Not all heroes wear masks
