The Electric Man Can Cook Fish in 2 Minutes - Zhang Deke

You may have heard about electric rays, electric eels, or electric catfish. But an electric man? The reports show that the 71 year-old Zhang Deke, a retired highway maintainer from Altay city of China's westernmost Xinjiang, is able to stand charges (and he charges himself) of 220V of electricity passing through his body as a form of routine  "exercise" to keep himself fit! 

With both his hands grabbing onto live wires, Mr Zhang shows his "physical conductor" capacity, being able to even control their brightness. 

And that isn’t the end of his talents – he can also cook a fish in two minutes - in his hands! Wow – in another era he’d be hailed as a prophet or something.

Zhang also employs his unique ability to cure his friends and relatives of conditions such as rheumatism, arthritis and lumbago, and his "treatment" seems to be really effective.

Well, he says that electricity runs through his body – a whopping 240 volts - a claim which although sounds ludicrous has yet to be disproved. The Xinjiang Branch of the Chinese Academy of Sciences examined Zhang in 1994 and said he had a physical dysfunction – whatever that may mean (I reckon he’s got an oversized Duracell stuck up his butt) - but failed to provide further details.
