Brazil boy seems to attract metal objects(AP)

SAO PAULO (AP) -- An 11-year-old boy in Brazil's northeastern city of Mossoro is drawing attention with his purportedly magnet-like qualities.

The Globo TV network has broadcast images of Paulo David Amorim demonstrating how forks, knives, scissors, cooking pans, cameras and other metal objects seem drawn to his body and remain stuck on his chest, stomach and back.

The boy's father tells Globo that he decided to test his son after learning of a boy in Croatia with a similar ability. Junior Amorim says he was surprised to find "a fork and knife stuck to his body."

The youth says classmates call him "magnet boy."

Dr. Dix-Sept Rosado Sobrinho tells Globo it is the first time in his 30-year career that he has seen a case like this.

Sign him! He can run into the endzone and afix himself to the goal post, then shimmy up out of the defenders reach every time!

I wouldn't fuck with a dude from Brazil anyway...

Neodymium magnet.

Neodymium magnet.
That could be bad.
The greater force exerted by rare earth magnets creates hazards that are not seen with other types of magnet. Neodymium magnets larger than a few centimeters are strong enough to cause injuries to body parts pinched between two magnets, or a magnet and a metal surface, even causing broken bones. Magnets allowed to get too near each other can strike each other with enough force to chip and shatter the brittle material, and the flying chips can cause injuries. There have even been cases where young children who have swallowed several magnets have had a fold of the digestive tract pinched between the magnets, causing injury or death. The stronger magnetic fields can be hazardous to mechanical and electronic devices, as they can erase magnetic media such as floppy disks and credit cards, and magnetize watches and other clockwork mechanisms and the shadow masks of CRT type monitors at a significant distance.

Then again, I could stick my kids to refrigerator and they couldn't tear up the house unless I removed the magnet.

:hmmm:

:clap: Exactly. It has begun.

I think that info was a little over-stated. We have rare earth magnets at work. Of course, two magnets can be a problem, mostly because once they're attached it's damn near impossible to separate them. BUT, one magnet can make objects appear to move without reason. Utensils flying across tables, or just moving randomly. That's what made me think it was a neodymium magnet because they're small, powerful and easily concealed.

It has nothing to do with magnetism and everything to do with the type of skin he has.. guarantee he is virtually hairless. The skin can sort of "stick" to a flat surface.
