Aaargh... from the people who print the excellent "Bad Science" column:

Since 1987, one year after the Chernobyl disaster, 76-year-old Russian factory worker Leonid Tenkaev, his wife Galina, their daughter Tanya and grandson Kolya have all been able to make metal objects stick to their bodies. Leonid can hold individual objects weighing up to 23kg on his chest.

Doctors in Russia and Japan appear to have been convinced that the Tenkaevs' abilities are genuine. "There is absolutely no doubt that the objects stick as if their bodies were magnetic," an impressed Dr Atusi Kono told reporters in 1991.

And more, and not a word about how covering them in talcum powder cuts off the effect.

Well, of course - this is the same paper that published Luci's precious Ennis homeopath experiment results - you know, the ones thoroughly debunked by Randi already?
