Magnetic boy can hang a frying pan from his chest - great video

Now this is seriously weird.

The Daily Telegraph reports on a six-year-old Croatian boy, Ivan Stoiljkovic, who can apparently hang up to 25kg of metal from his chest, including cutlery, coins and even a non-stick frying pan.

Has he been swallowing magnets? Properly not.

According to experts I have found on the web, water molecules in the body naturally align themselves, which means the body can become a huge magnet. There are different amounts of water in each part of the body so you can even picture the magnetic field as a 3D-map - which is, I think, how MRI scanning works. Simple!
