Stone Flower

Villagers in China are making an arduous journey through the woods to catch a glimpse of the ‘stone flower’. They believe that the flower appeared in the woods after a bout of heavy rainfall lashed the mountain until it gave way resulting in a mountain slide.

The flower slowly emerged from the remnants of the mountainside.  According to the forest rangers of the Meilan village, Jinfeng town, the stone flower was discovered by an elderly villager about a month ago when he was collecting firewood deep in the forest.

The village head Ran Zaizhong believes that the ‘stone flower’ is a gift from nature and reveals that the township officials will protect the ‘stone flower’ and develop the location as a scenic local attraction. The villagers have now built a path through the woods so that people can easily visit the location.

Geologist Dr. Meng Youyan, after studying pictures of the ‘stone flower’ said the so-called petals are in fact 300 million-year-old chert nodules.

Armless man steals TV

Sounds unbelievable right?

A thief with no arms managed to steal a 24-inch TV in Munich, Germany. He had two accomplices who used clamps to fix the TV to his body.

When the staff noticed that the TV was missing from its stand they looked back at CCTV recordings and saw the armless thief walking out of the store with their TV attached to his body.

“It’s hard to believe that the sight of an armless man walking along with a giant TV clamped to his body did not get anyone’s attention,” said a police spokesman.

Hanging Dummy Billboard

I am all for creative advertising, but even I don´t get this one.

The billboard below has caused outrage in a Chinese city by featuring what appears to be a man hanging from a rope. What looks like a man is actually a mannequin hanging from the top of the billboard.

The advertisement it self is a reference to the global financial crisis and it reads: “It’s better to invest money here than put it into the stock market.”

Creative director behind the ad said that the aim was to catch people’s attention but many people were terrified bacuase they thought it was a real suicide.

After receiving many complaints, the local industry and trade bureau took down the mannequin.

Breast Milk For Sale

A Chinese man, Li Jun, has figured out a weird way of making money. He is selling his wife’s excess breast milk online.

His wife is producing way to much milk for their baby daughter and he doesn´t want the extra milk to go to waste so he is selling it online.

Li Jun said that he is not out to make a profit and if a family is really in poverty he would provide them the milk for free.

Caffè Latte anybody? :)
