The Amazing Magnet Boy!
I'm pretty sure it's orbital pull. The pics are f-ing hilarious.
Ivan Stoiljkovic carries a frying pan stuck to his chest in front of his home near Koprivnica, some 100 kilometres north of the Croatian capital Zagreb May 12, 2011. Ivan, 6, has an extraordinary talent: the ability to attract metallic objects -- from spoons to heavy frying pans -- to his body. He is said to be able to carry up to 25 kg of metal stuck to his torso. Ivan's family also claims that his hands can emit heat and his mysterious ability has also given him healing powers. Medical checkups so far have reaped inconclusive results.

Is it wrong when my first thought wasn't about his amazing world changing mutant power, but frack his parents need to stop feeding him.

Why isn't he in the new X-men movie this coming June? He'd be a shoo-in to play magneto. Haha.

Wait, when did the Calgary Herald become the Weekly World News?
Why would they report this as if it were factual?

Ya, that is weird. I'm not sure what I expected, but it wasn't that. I guess I'm wondering about why the coins don't stick more (if this was true). If the kid can hold a frying pan with weights in it, then wouldn't those coins be so tightly affixed they would be really hard to pry off?
Just thinking that far I've wasted too much time on this!
Oh, and him standing on the quad riding around half naked at the end was just strange!

How embarassing for Croatia that this is getting media attention. Every so many years, some fraudulent claim of this nature pops up somewhere in the world.
Just wash that filthy kid. He's sticky.
