Meet Jamie "Canhead" Keeton. He's also known as the "human suction cup."

Keeton, 47, has a "mysterious" medical condition in which his skin can act like the suction cups on an octopus' tentacles, according to Dr. Win Myint, Keeton's doctor in Oak Lawn, Illinois.

Myint told ABC News that Keeton's skin can "suck up things." He can stick cans, bottles and other inanimate objects to his head and other body parts without them falling off.

"I'm not quite sure why his skin is like that, but he is definitely not sick and in fairly good shape," Myint said. "It's a mystery."

Don’t be talking about me. I once paid a stripper to do this with a short Budweiser beer bottle and pour me a beer.

So entertained I paid to have it done twice. And I would do it again if if ever get back to Florida.

Have to admit, that is better than having the lack of money super power.

I was gonna say, women might find that appealing in certain...uhm...intimate situations.

“Oh honey, do that thing you did last time. Yes, yes...right there. Ooooh, yes.”

But then you posted his picture.

Guilty.

Spidey is The Best. My fave in the Marvel Universe. Wolverine is #2.

And that's a great drawing BTW. It's small...can't tell if it is Todd McFarlane or John Romita Jr.
Probably Todd.

Suction cup hands would also be good for security guards. “Swarm! Swarm! Attach! Attach!”
