    Mullfoto of the Day

    At the foot of King Street in Alexandria Virginia.

    We've told you a thousand times: You can drown in just a few inches of water.

    Catchy Caption of the Day

    Actual Caption:

    Ivan Stoiljkovic poses for pictures with cutlery stuck to his chest in front of his home near Koprivnica, some 100 kilometres (62 miles) north of the capital Zagreb, May 12, 2011. Ivan, 6, has an extraordinary talent: the ability to attract metallic objects -- from spoons to heavy frying pans -- to his body. He is said to be able to carry up to 25 kg of metal stuck to his torso.

    Ivan's family also claims that his hands can emit heat and his mysterious ability has also given him healing powers. Medical checkups so far have reaped inconclusive results.

    Looks like he's been attracting too many Super Sized burgers and fries.
