Hum Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 An 11-year-old boy in Brazil is drawing attention with a purported ability to attract metal objects to his body. Paulo David Amorim's abdomen, chest and back allow objects like spoons and scissors to stick to his body, according to TV footage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerowen Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 It's just a kid with extremely sticky skin... I thought that too, but it doesn't really explain the pot. That's big enough that sticky skin alone wouldn't have held it. Also, does this mean he can't get close to the TV or he'll ruin the color in it? Does he degauss hard drives on accident?
