- clickmyface, on 10/11/2007, -7/+172[Cuddy] House!
[House] What?
[Cuddy] You have to take this case!
[House] Cant you see i'm busy? (caught with hand in vicodin jar)
[Cuddy takes house's cane and casually places it on the kids chest and lets go so it sticks to him*]
[House] Interesting....Black guy, do an MRI! Right now!
[Black doctor] Won't that kill him?
[House] Good point. Cemeron, you do the MRI. We wouldnt want to see the black guy kill someone else. - ZogDog, on 10/11/2007, -0/+152Life will suck if he ever needs an MRI...
- TheAtomicMoose, on 10/11/2007, -2/+130oh, the irony.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+123Aww a little magneto...
- benijuana, on 10/11/2007, -4/+117sounds like a good idea for an episode of House
- Zalyster, on 10/11/2007, -4/+114Man, if that kid learns to control his magnetism, in a coupla' years he's gonna kick ass.
- Okari, on 10/11/2007, -2/+102That's because it's marked as buried as inaccurate in seconds.

i think you mean magneto... - breaktheshovel, on 10/11/2007, -1/+57Keep him away from my computer! Only on Max X would you find someone like that...
- mrASSMAN, on 10/11/2007, -5/+61If he's truly paranormal.. he should schedule a visit to James Randi and claim his million dollars. (hint: it's *****)
- EnglishmanInAu, on 10/11/2007, -10/+60I for one welcome our new Overlord line Overlords.
- ElectricBrain, on 10/11/2007, -2/+51Iron in your blood is NOT ferromagnetic.
- monsterpyro, on 10/11/2007, -4/+50It looks fake to me. Iron is the only metal in the body in high amounts that can be used as a magnet. But that much iron would probably kill you, so I have no idea. I'm sticking with it being a hoax until we have more info.
- xerus, on 10/11/2007, -5/+49Sheesh, this poor kid. Every comment on this story is something like "Keep him away from *something*" ;(
- alive1, on 10/11/2007, -2/+45No it mustn't. Mythbusters debunked that old and misunderstood myth a long time ago.
- BlackOp, on 10/11/2007, -1/+43People who claim to be magnetic have already applied for Randi's million dollar challenge. One applicant I read about stopped responding when he was told talcum powder would be involved..
Found the application: http://forums.randi.org/showthread.php?t=36341
PS. Buried as inaccurate. - se1zure, on 10/11/2007, -1/+36i need this power...
- kindrobot, on 10/11/2007, -2/+36If anyone ever tells you they can do this and then demonstrates, do this...
Get some baby powder and tell them to spread it across their chest and then tell them to try again, but this time leaning forward slightly instead of back slightly.
Then of course, punch them directly in the face with your fist for insulting your intelligence and tell them to NEVER EVER do that again. - dvsbastard, on 10/11/2007, -3/+34You must have one of those magnetic fields that repels babes...
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+30the mutant revolution begins...
- KennMac, on 10/11/2007, -1/+28What's to stop me from thinking that all the objects are sticky? I can't just trust the 'magnetic' explanation.
- orp2000, on 10/11/2007, -2/+28This is FAKE! As has already been pointed out (Toric). There is no glue. It's just the surface of the silverware sticking to the slight moisture on the surface of the skin. Anyone can do it. Really OLD trick. Westerners can't do it as well as we tend to have more hair on our bodies, so the metal doesn't stick as well. You can similarly hang a spoon from your nose (concave side of spoon pressed against the top of the end of your nose with handle hanging down). And no, it doesn't mean your magnetic, sorry.
You guys are funny. - bejove, on 10/11/2007, -3/+29Apparently, they're not magnetic people... but just people with very sticky skin.

- MackPrime, on 10/11/2007, -2/+23the ironing is delicious
- 0crabby0, on 10/11/2007, -3/+23There is no spoon...
- holygram, on 10/11/2007, -0/+19Kinda sounds like a comic I once read.
And 3 movies I once saw.
And numerous pieces of merchandise I never bought. - noodlez, on 10/11/2007, -0/+19someone should just grab a gauss meter and check out little magnus and his pops to see if they're legit.
using spoons and sticking them to the body isn't very scientifically accurate. - bluerei, on 10/11/2007, -3/+21How the crap is this even possible?
- Exploited, on 10/11/2007, -0/+17"This story is straight out of Taiwan, this child's body is actually magnetic and so is his fathers."
Hopefully they are the same polarity or the dad might have some explaining to do. - guymac, on 10/11/2007, -2/+18Next thing ya know, people will be claiming to bend metal using only their mind! With conclusive video evidence!
- dietprozac, on 10/11/2007, -4/+20It's not possible. Haven't you ever hung a spoon off your nose? with enough natural skin oils and the right amount of perspiration skin can become sticky enough to latch on to smooth objects. Watch how they press back and forth to seat the object against the skin.
- fubuvsfitch, on 10/11/2007, -1/+17No but I bet you can do a "Wooly" WIlly thing on his face.
;-) - Toric, on 10/11/2007, -2/+17Fake...
- jmob, on 10/11/2007, -0/+14yeah... that's a matter of opinion. I'm always really skeptical when I hear some new new age term thrown out there. Actually, I'm really skeptical about anything with the words "new age attached"
It just sounds like another wacky faith based thingamabobber with no quantifiable substance what so ever. - djphatjive, on 10/11/2007, -7/+21It must be a bitch to keep credit cards in his pocket!!!!
- IckyChris, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13....."Unlike many people on Digg, I have an open mind, and I don't necessarily believe everything Randi says"
You seem to have missed the whole idea behind Randi.
It's not about believing what he says.
It's about you being able to show that you can do what you say you can do.
Show the woo. That's all he asks. - ensceptico, on 10/11/2007, -1/+13James Randi, and others, have exposed the trick before. Just pour some powder on the body and the magic goes away.
- cherrick, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11@radu79
You could at least look things up before you open your mouth. The million dollars was donated to the foundation for the express purpose of being used in the million dollar challenge and is being held in escrow so nobody can even access it unless they pass the challenge. Your implication that James Randi doesn't have an open mind also shows how little you know about skeptics. Our minds are open. The difference is that they're also open to the idea that it's all a bunch of crap. As soon as we're shown evidence, we'll accept it. Or as the saying goes, "Keep an open mind, but not so open your brains fall out." - smkelly, on 10/11/2007, -1/+12You are all wrong. They are Cylons. I, for one, am going to go prepare for the nuclear detonations by preparing my Battlestar.
The cycle begins again... - unknownunknowns, on 10/11/2007, -3/+14You really think House can still get high off of Vicodin? The amount he would have to take even to kill the pain in his leg would cause dangerous liver toxicity. Get that man the hard stuff.
- RustedGod, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11Yup, smells like *****. Where're Penn and Teller when you need them. Or James Randi. I expect to see these folks in the running for that $1 million prize. Silver and wood sticking to his body? Right, sure. I'd like to see him try stick someone else's silverware to his body. Edit: OK, given the above, they may be able to pull that off. Point is, I doubt they could reproduce it under controlled conditions.
- khellendros1984, on 10/11/2007, -9/+19snipes, that's part of the point.
- radu79, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10Well, it depends. For example, if the magnetic field is variable, it can ***** up a credit card. We don't know if his magnetic field is variable. But if it is, he can do cool stuff like using a coil (via induction) and recharge his cellphone and stuff :)
- standinero, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9We better keep Sylar away from this kid then..
- hydratedsquash, on 10/11/2007, -4/+12I wonder if you could do a Wolly Willy thing on his face?
- gumby05, on 10/11/2007, -6/+14I'd just make sure to keep him away from those cutlery stores in the mall
- BananaGrabber, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8what? no mullets?
- mrASSMAN, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8You win.
