Meet the real life Magneto boys
Five-year-old, Erman Delic has been compared to Marvel Comics baddie Magneto, who is a fictional mutant subspecies of human born with the ability to generate and control magnetic fields.
Dubbed as ‘human magnet’ Delic was shocked when he suddenly noticed he could stick metal objects to his skin while watching TV one day.
The footage of Erman comes just months after nine-year-old Mehmet Sumbul, from Turkey, was filmed attracting metal spoons and forks on his chest and back. The youngster told local media at the time that his body can also do the same trick with screws, metal ashtrays as well as mobile phones.
Mehmet, who lives in the city of Antalya, said: “I am seen as a strange person. When I’m angry, my magnetic field becomes stronger.”
His dad Huseyin added: “He can attract any type of small kitchenware. I haven’t taken him to the hospital because he has no health issues.
He is doing well at school and is good at sports too.”
The phenomenon is sometimes referred to as ‘human magnetism’ and some have said they can also attract other types of materials, such as glass, porcelain, wood or plastic.
Many mainstream scientists, however, believe that it is in fact nothing more than unusually greasy skin.
Have you ever seen a mouse-eating spider?
If you have a fear of spiders you should not read the news as this will definitely terrify you from this eight-legged beast for several days to come.
Jason Womal, from Mackay, Queensland, Australia, filmed the incredible sight of a huge Huntsman spider chowing down on a mouse at a neighbour’s home.
The video of the spider’s meal has gone viral on the internet — being viewed 2.6 million times, shared 50,000 times on Facebook and received 10,000 Likes.
In the 20-second clip, the spider is seen climbing up the front face of a fridge. But what is amazing is the mouse it is carrying while scaling the front of the fridge.
The spider even navigates a magnetic fridge calendar during its journey.
Mr Womal wrote alongside the video clip that his neighbour called him when he was leaving for work thus found the spider.
