A building demolition gone wrong in Liuzhou, China, in December 2009. Instead of tumbling straight to the bottom; the building swayed sideway… one of the blocks fell completely while another stood proud as a momentarily landmark in the city.
Having a ‘fat little baby’ is a good thing from Chinese perspective, but a family in China’s Shanxi Province is having serious problem with their overweight baby girl.
The two-year-old is weighed at 41.5 kg, which is three to four times heavier than average baby her age. She doesn’t look THAT heavy from the photo; but she’s obviously huge, and there’s worrying signs on her twisted feet.
The reason for her obesity is unknown yet, but there’s probably some health issue (hormone etc.) involved. Hope she’ll get normal soon with proper help.
[Archive] Check out a 2007 story of another super obese Chinese baby.
Movie trailer for Robogeisha [Jp], a 2009 Japanese cult film by Noboru Iguchi. An awesome piece of sh!t with plenty of WTF moment from beginning till the end. A bit unsafe for work; not for kids…

A Malaysian state is scrambling to find ways to improve sexual relations, as the divorce rate in the state is rising in an alarming rate. There’s at least three in every ten marriages registered in the Terengganu state that ended in divorce.
Boring sex and smelly body odour were said to be the main reasons behind the break up among young folks; thus the state is thinking of inviting cosmetic firms to introduce exotic and sensuous fragrances which can arouse sexual ardour.
Earlier last month there’s also suggestions that couples on the brink of divorce to be offered free honeymoon packages to rekindle their romance.
This is turning into an interesting series; note that Terengganu is one of the most conservative states in the country… wonder what is coming next lol.
A premature baby boy who was born on board an AirAsia flight last Wednesday night will be given free flights for life with the Malaysia-based budget airline.
The aircraft made an emergency diversion to Kuala Lumpur when the mother went into labour, but the baby was smart enough to pop out before the plane landed, thanks to the great assist by Dr. Ronald who happened to be on board.
The mother will enjoy the same free flights for life as well; wonder if there’s any bonus for the doctor though… guess not.
Congrats to the mummy & baby; and a pat on the back for Dr. Ronald :)
After the highly popular life-size 18-metre Gundam model in Tokyo, another giant Japanese robot statue, the Tetsujin 28-go (lit. Iron Man #28), is set to welcome its visitors in Kobe following its completion earlier this week.
Tetsujin 28 was created in 1956 by Kobe-born Mitsuteru Yokoyama; it was one of the earliest giant robot characters in Japanese manga. The comic was later adapted into anime series and was aired in US as well, retitled as the Gigantor.
The Tetsujin 28 statue is located at Kobe’s Wakamatsu Park. It’s similar in height with the Gundam statue, but doesn’t have moving parts like the Tokyo counterpart. The Kobe robot is built as a permanent structure though, whereas the Gundam was disassembled after two months of exhibition.
If the trend keeps going, we might be seeing dozens of giant robot models across Japan in future… pretty fitting tourist attraction for the #1 robotic nation lol.

A 107-year-old Malaysian woman is looking to marry again… for the 23rd time.
The old lady from the state of Terengganu became talk of the town in 2007 when she married a 37-year-old guy. She now believes her husband might leave her after completing his drug rehabilitation programme and settlling down in Kuala Lumpur besides marrying a woman younger than her.
What can I say… everyone deserves a little companion, as bizarre as it sounds. Wonder if she’s eyeing on a Super Junior (118% pun intended) this time lol.

Heart-kun, the chihuahua that made headlines in 2007 with his perfect heart-shaped birthmark, is having a brother that shares similar cuteness…
Named Love-kun, the new puppy was also born in Odate, northern Japan. The pet owner must have done something good in her past-life; having a cute dog like this is quite a blessing, having two is just heaven [image via Petsugar]
