Best mistress competition in Qingdao was a fake story?

 Remember that incredibly entertaining (if somewhat morbid) story about a woman who lost a best mistress contest and then drove her lover and his four other mistresses off a cliff? Well, apparently it might have been complete fiction! Damn it!......

Yeah, I made mention of it being bogus but failed to link to the debunking. It think Zhao Benshan needs to make this into a movie. get the Crazy Stone folks to lens it.

Just walk into your local market and ask "Cao Ni Ma?"

TIC is knowing that, in China, your fruit salad WILL come with cherry tomatoes AND all slathered in mayo. - old34.

Bra padding mistaken for pneumonia on X-ray
Quote
  A careless doctor told a woman she had pneumonia after an X-ray exam revealed a shadow that later turned out be just the padding in her bra.

The woman went to a doctor in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, after she caught a cold and started to cough. She also felt pain in her chest.

A doctor concluded she suffered from pneumonia after he saw the shadow in the lower part of her right lung.

After receiving a drip, however, she kept coughing acutely. Her boyfriend asked another doctor to give her another examination.

The second doctor saw the same ring shadow but realized it was not pneumonia. It turned out she just had a normal cold and the shadow was only the padding she added to the right side of the bra to make her breasts look even.

  Suzhou Creek becomes big barge gridlock
About 400 boats are stuck along the 3.7-kilometer Huajiang Road section of Suzhou Creek in Jiading District yesterday (20th March). The congestion was caused by Shanghai's increasing demand for infrastructure construction materials and rainy weather.
