Brenda Allison of North London, England, has magnetism. No, it’s not that she has a personality that draws people to her (thought she might), it’s that she has a biochemical makeup that makes metal objects stick to her. Ms. Allison not only can stick change, safety pins, and spoons to her body, but also can ...
Sometimes people come to my door and ask me if I have found Jesus. Like it’s hard to do. He’s all over the place! Why, Mitchell Grainger, from Rowley Regis, England, didn’t have to look any further than his own chicken! Grainger took a picture of his chicken, Gloria, and saw the face of Jesus ...
