Oil
Sucker
It is not about an oil
sucker tank, but an oil sucker woman.
Ever since pesticides
became widely used on Chinese farmlands,
drinking pesticide has replaced hanging
and drowning to be the most common method
of suicide among village women.
But to this 46-year old
lady in northeast China, pesticide is
what she washes down her daily meal.
Other drinks presented on her dinner
table include gasoline and diesel fuel.
With over ten years of
hard drinking experience behind her, she
can tell one brand of the diesel fuel
apart from another by … just drinking
it (is that so convenient?).

From
Thief to Anti-Thief
There are stories in the
West about how Internet hackers are
transformed into anti-hacker experts.
It can work for bike
thieves too.
A 34-year old Chinese man
of Jiangxi Province was a bike thief. And
a maestro thief in fact: in three years,
he had stolen 600 bikes.
It all started three years
ago. He left his old job and was unable
to find a new one, and subsequently
became a homeless man sleeping in a
railway square. It was there he met his
theft master. After two days of intensive
training, he graduated and soon became a
top expert in his chosen profession -
using his new inventions, he could open a
lock in just two seconds, with the high
point of his theft career being the
record of stealing 7 bikes within 2
hours. He was dubbed Magic Thief and
looked up to by the thieves all over the
country.
Yet during eight months in
prison, his conscience pained him deeply.
Once he was out, he decided to redress
past wrongs, and that is how he became a
volunteer seminar speaker on anti-theft
techniques.
