When I was in High School Chemistry, my teacher showed us a cow magnet. Apparently farmers make cows swallow strong magnets to attach to other metal things they accidently eat, like nails. This somehow prevents damage.
When he told us about them, he said that they sit in cows stomachs, and when the farmer wants to cows to come back into the barn, he turns on a giant electromagnet and the gentle "pull" in the cows' stomachs makes them go back in...
..apparently, he was joking.
