there are quite a few asian persons that have this "trait". it *is* the adhesiveness, not magnetism. notice how he's leaning back a little bit? that's key. they can't hold the things standing straight up (or even leaning over) because it relies solely on gravity + the stickiness of his skin.
saw a science show about it a while back. pretty interesting, nonetheless. children tend to inherit it from their parents. one family has a father, wife, 2 sons and a daughter. sons, daughter & dad are "human magnets" - mom is normal.
