There was a thread a while ago where someone asked for ideas for an unusual clock display. THIS! So cool!

If you haven't already, search youtube for ferrofluid.

Example:

Cool looking stuff, and seem easy enough to make at home (just don't bring it to school ::)).

Not sure why people are saying make it out of toner, toner is monocomponent and not magnetic, it's developer that's magnetic.
The amount of developer I have thrown out over the years! I'll have to get my hands on some :D
