Looking on the bright side, she should never lose her keys.

But for mother-of-one Brenda Allison, her mysterious 'power' that means metallic objects stick to her body has long since lost its attraction.
Dubbed 'the human magnet', Miss Allison says she is often embarrassed by the effect, which she has been told is down to a heightened electromagnetic current running through her body.
Attraction: Brenda Allison, 50, is so magnetically charged that metal objects including coins, keys and even tin lids stick to her for up to 45 minutes
The accounts manager says coins, safety pins, magnets, spanners and even a metal lid from a Vaseline pot can stay on her body for up to 45 minutes without falling off.
When the pulse is at its strongest, she says she can even dance in her living room without them coming off.
For as long as she can remember, she explains, her body has set off car alarms, interrupted the TV signal and blown out light bulbs.
Positive: Mrs Allison was once accused by a cashier of deliberately cursing his till when her magnetism caused it to develop problems
When she was a child, she said, her parents stopped buying her watches because her magnetic field kept interfering with the timing mechanism.
Every person has a subtle electromagnetic field flowing through their bodies - but most of us are unaware of its presence. However, Miss Allison, 50, says she first noticed the effects of her magnetism when she was in a nursery school.
As she grew up she started to keep a diary and realised the magnetic pulses were strongest at the end of each menstrual cycle.
'People laugh when I put metal objects on my skin and they don't fall off,' Miss Allison, of Holloway, North London, said: 'But sometimes my condition can be extremely embarrassing.
'On one occasion I had a dreadful experience at the supermarket. When I reached the check-out the till machine started to misbehave and it was obvious I had caused it.
'The man on the checkout started shouting at me and accused me of putting a voodoo curse on his till.'
Doctors have told Miss Allison that her magnetism may be caused by high stress levels and have urged her to take steps to relax.
During strong magnetic periods she has been advised to grip the kitchen taps as they are 'earthed'.
She said her one wish was to be tested by electromagnet specialists so she can understand the cause behind her condition, adding: 'When I was a child my parents knew there was something different about me - but they never entertained the idea of taking me to the doctor.
'What would they say - "We think our child is a magnet"? Medicine was very different back then and I think if my mother had said that to a doctor she would have been taken away by the men in white coats.
'When I was a child we constantly had the TV repair man round because I had interfered with the electronics in some way. '
'And they gave up buying me watches because they would just stop.'
It was only earlier this year that Miss Allison discovered that metal objects would stay on her skin when she placed them there.
She says her body can emit a negative or positive charge, depending on the time of the month.
This means she will repel some objects and attract others, and vice versa, depending on the charge.
She added: 'Metal objects don't fly towards me, but when I put them close to my skin I can feel a pull. They tend to stay on for longer if they are near a bone - I don't know why.'
'They can stay on me for up to 45 minutes without me touching them. Sometimes I feel like a fridge covered with magnets.'
'My son has grown up with my magnetism so he finds it normal. But he did used to complain when it stopped his battery-operated toys from working.'
Kathy Geminiani, an electrotherapy expert, said it is possible that Miss Allison has a stronger charge in her body.
She said: 'Everyone has a charge, all slightly different. It sounds like Brenda is highly charged.'
Sandy Lawrence of Electrosensitivity UK said: 'This condition is affecting more and more people, many of whom have to leave their jobs and can't even go to the shops.
'It's great that this woman's condition has been highlighted as it is not officially recognised in the UK although it is in other countries.'[/QUOTE][URL="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1304481/The-human-magnet-Mother-power-make-metal-stick-body.html"]Source[/URL].
mite b cool
I once read about some other guy with the same ability.
She's like fucking Alma.
Imagine being in a long hallway, and this woman comes walking towards you, but she is always in darkness because the lightbulbs above her keeps dying.
"but officer my belt buckle was attracted to her face."
yea he lives in India I think
She must have a nice personality then.
fucking magnets, how do they work?

You could say she has an attractive personality.

though it sometimes has a negative affect on cashiers
[quote]'On one occasion I had a dreadful experience at the supermarket. When I reached the check-out the till machine started to misbehave and it was obvious I had caused it.[/quote]
A much better experience would be all of the cans flying off the shelf and sticking to her until she's just a giant mass of cans walking through the store
Fucking snip.
It's that time of the month again...
...to emit negative magnetic charges.
Ok, we have Magneto.
Who is Xavier?

JREF million dollar prize contender, right here, folks.
Isn't there like 5 more chinese guys who have the same power?

That's not a spoiler by the way.
It is called glue
my friend can do something similar, except his body kinda eats the shit, Fucking scary, I mean really slowly but say he wears a necklace for a day the coating would be gone. Scares me.
Iirc, it's a condition where people have really, REALLY smooth skin. When somtething else really smooth, such as metal, comes into contact with their skin, some shit happens and it gets vacuum sucked on or something.
I watched a Discovery/History channel documentary about it a while back, don't remember much.

But can smooth skin disrupt TVs and cash registers?

She's not magnetic, I doubt it. She's probably just super fucking dirty.

ahh, beat me to it
:cheers:
I have this strange feeling that... people in this thread are believing total bullshit... Yep.
Seriously people? Duped by Daily Mail?
"She says her body can emit a negative or positive charge, depending on the time of the month."
I disagree.
First of all, this is DailyFail. Second of all, the laws of physics dictates she can't only have a single magnetic charge; she has to have both. Each on the opposite side of the body.
Second, the effects of magnetism decrease with distance dramatically. In other words, her "magnetic field" would probably be too weak at let's arbitrarily say five feet to do anything to sensitive devices.
She's Magneto.
Wait...he's a she?!
Charge me doktor!
That's Mag-fucking-neato.
