I'm hoping it is more like the brief scene in Dogma where the Stygian 
Triplets on roller blades use a hockey stick to rip a tear in reality. ( 
I can find absolutely no reference to the scene in the movie as I 
remember it... so it is probably one of MY hallucinations)....

Thanks for the hint about finding (easter egg?) tooltip/hover-overs in 
XKCDs...  I think I'd tripped over them before but didn't twig to their 
being "a thing"... Kewl!

Car bodies are getting to be more and more likely Aluminum or 
(bio)Plastic, so a magnapoon would be a less-than-optimal method, though 
much simpler than a suction-cup mechanism.   Maybe getting "magnapooned" 
would just be part of the "tax" on having an older/larger/inefficient 
vehicle (think lifted Diesel quad-cab 4x4 cowboy cadillac)...
