New York has more than its share of strange people. But not all of them are intentionally weird.A 12-year-old boy from Pulaski has been causing problems at Lura Sharp Elementary School. Whenever he would work at a computer, it would freeze and crash. An awards show was nearly canceled when the slide projector near him malfunctioned. Once he was moved away from the hard drive, things went smoothly.
Is he a troublemaker with a eye for technology? not at all. Somehow, he effects electronic devices in his general vicinity. The trouble isn't limited to school, either. At home, his Xbox 360 would freeze up every time he tried to play it.
School officials gave Joseph Falciatano, a.k.a. "Magneto Boy", a special wristband to wear, grounding him and any possible electrical field, and have had no further problems. An expert in static electricity was called in and has yet to discover the cause of these unusual problems.

Wow! a real life Magneto, hope he uses his powers for good, or we will have to call out the X-Men hahahaha! But all in all a very strange article. I am sure they will be studing him, even though that is tragic. Having your life ruined being poked and proded all in the name of science. But who knows! Huge Huggs!
I sometimes wonder if we don't have users who do that too!
LOL I was thinking what Bill said. I believe it though and not surprised to see that. Some people are more likely to have static electricity then others. Really interesting stuff.
