This isn't a joke, but we won't blame you for laughing. A man was at China's border when customs officials noticed him walking weirdly and decided to investigate. The reason for his strange stroll? Ninety-four iPhones strapped to his body. Yes, 94.

Apparently the guy used plastic bags and masking tape to strap the iPhone 6 and 6 plus phones to his torso and legs, according to the Chinese outlet Sina News [4]. As Time magazine points out, smuggling iPhones is common [5] in mainland China because electronics are more expensive there than in nearby regions.
How long before this guy turns into a meme?
