A Romanian claims he's immune to electric shocks and is 2,000-times more resistant to electricity than normal.

The man from Buzau says he can touch wires charged with 380 volts and feel just a slight itch.

Journalists from a Romanian daily paper say they've seen his trick, but independent experts haven't yet confirmed his claims.

Constantin Craiu says he discovered his gift while he was fixing an electric device.

"It was an accident. I was working with a colleague of mine on an electric board and at a certain point I told him to restart the electricity. He told me he had never stopped it," said Mr Craiu.

Uh, wet your hands with salt water and grab opposite wires with opposite hands. Find yourself making noises like the percussion section of a symphony orchestra as your nads beat together. Don't plan on letting loose very soon.

How could one put this "gift" to good use?

Ahhh, Roamnia, land of Vampires and Vlad Dracul the Impaler. Bunch of weird people if there ever was.

Someone could test the Taliban at Gitmo to see if they're also immune to shocks. I'm not for it but some inquiring minds might want to know.

Just a poor ground. Was he wearing Depends and tennis shoes?

Someone needs to tell this guy that it's not the electricity, it's the resistance that kills you.

RS, any comments?
