Real Magneto Breaks Every Computer He Touchs
By Jay Alan | March 4, 2008
12 year old Joe Falciatano III, doesn’t just have an impossible to pronounce name, he also possess the ability to ruin any computer or electronic device he touches:
While using PCs at this elementary school, Joe — who dubbed himself “Magneto Man” — found that every system he laid his hands on went totally haywire. Only after a teacher suggested he use a grounded, anti-static wrist strap did the systems experience relief from his Geek Squad-inducing grasp. Apparently, the boy has also disrupted slide show presentations and caused his Xbox to freeze repeatedly. Though tests have been run on Joe, there’s still no conclusive evidence about the source of the problem, though at least one electricity expert said the cause could be his over-insulated shoes.
Perhaps this child is the answer to all the problems I’ve been having. Jason has long theorized that I have a stronger magnetic field than most human beings. It seems to be the only explanation for the 3 motherboards I went through in less than 3 years and the 7 DVD players I have managed to destroy in the last 9 years.
