Normally when a contest crowns someone as the most attractive person, it has everything to do with their physical appearance. But at a competition in Vietnam that judging human magnets, it’s what’s on the inside that counts.
Some of the participating human magnets held some pretty impressive stuff against their bodies. There was plenty of cutlery stuck to faces, chests and backs. Nothing, however, compared to the best of the human magnets, who held an 80-pound stone slab across his chest. Next stop, if he is smart, should be the local jewelry store.
