A visitor to a village outside the city of Kunming in south China captured a video of the creepy carp. The video was shared on Weibo, a Chinese social media platform and in the clip the fish can be seen swimming to the edge of the lake and poking its head above the surface of the water. On the fish’s head are dark dots which look like two eyes, two vertical lines which resemble the sides of a nose and one horizontal one underneath where a mouth would be. During the clip a woman can be heard saying: “The fish has turned into a fairy.” People were understandably freaked out by the sight. One person commented: “This is scary.” Another replied: “Who dares to eat it?” Watch video here; https://massmediang.com/creepy-video-fish-with-human-face-spotted-in-south-china-lake/

A 36-year-old mother got so worked up because her son couldn’t understand how to solve a math problem while doing homework that she suffered a heart attack. A 36-year-old mother, surnamed Wang, had to be rushed to the hospital on November 1st after suffering a heart-attack while doing homework with her 9-year-old son. She was apparently explaining a math problem to him and got so frustrated that he didn’t get it that her heart gave out. “I explained it to him many times but he still didn’t get it. I was so angry that I could explode,” Wang told Chinese reporters. “Suddenly, my heart was palpitating and I couldn’t breathe properly.” Luckily, Wang quickly realized that something was seriously wrong with her and she called her husband, who drove her to a hospital. Doctors there diagnosed the young mother with myocardial infarction, commonly known as heart attack, and said that she was lucky that she got to the hospital so fast. “She caught it in time. If there had been any delay, she could have suffered from heart failure,” Dr. Yang Xiaoxue said. Wang, who reportedly helps her son with homework every day, admitted that she would often get exasperated by his difficulty to understand some of the things she explained, but never imagined that her anger would have such severe consequences for her health. She is still recuperating in the hospital. It should be noted that while the frustration and anger may have triggered the heart attack, it probably had other underlying causes as well, like poor diet and a sedentary lifestyle.

If you’ve not watched this video then you should do so immediately. You might want to consider having a dog too. A dog trainer has succeeded in getting his hound to help him with his workouts – by holding down his feet during sit-ups. Cun Chivas shared the clip of his pet lying down and anchoring his feet as he lifted his upper body. In the clip, taken in Hung Yen, Vietnam, Mr Chivas sits on the an outside terrace facing his hound. On instruction, the dog lies down so that Mr Chivas’s feet can be hooked underneath its legs. With his hands placed on the back of his head, the owner starts to work out. At the end of the video, Mr Chivas affectionately strokes his dog on the head. He asks the dog for each front paw as if shaking its hands. As Mr Chivas stands up, the dog bounds up too and follows him out of frame. The focus of a sit-up is to draw the whole body up using the abdominal muscles. A variant is the stomach crunch, which involves raising the body halfway up. While sit-ups or crunches are a way to achieve a defined stomach – or ‘six-pack’ the plank has been found to be one of the best exercises for core fitness.

Doctors treating a South Florida man complaining of abdominal pain were surprised to learn what was behind the irritation. After arriving at Kendall Regional Medical Center, the unidentified patient underwent a CT scan to help shed light on what was causing his pain. Doctors quickly saw the problem: An 8-inch screwdriver sitting in his rectum. During surgery to remove the screwdriver, doctors found the tool had cut into the man’s abdominal cavity and had also perforated his large intestine. The Annals of Medicine and Surgery report does not address the reason the screwdriver was in the man’s rectum, but the patient has a history of mental illness, including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. The report does add that the most common reason for a foreign body to be inserted into the anal region is for sexual pleasure.

Restaurant Gives Women Free Food for Coming to Dinner with Men to Encourage Romantic Evenings, Fined $62,000 for Discrimination A famed restaurant in Peru was recently fined $62,000 for discriminating against women by giving ladies who dined with men menus that didn’t feature any prices. La Rosa Nautica, a pricey restaurant built on a peer overlooking the ocean in the Peruvian capital, Lima, was ordered to pay a 210,000 sol ($62,000) fine for offering women a different menu when they dined with men. While gentlemen were given a blue menu that featured both the dishes available and their prices, ladies got a gold version that mentioned no prices at all. The owner of the high-end restaurant defended the practice by calling it a way for women to enjoy a romantic night out without having to worry about costs, but Peruvian authorities ruled that it was discriminatory against women.

A man who witnessed his wife being raped faces eight years in prison for chopping off the attacker’s penis. The 27-year-old husband was on his way home when he saw Dmitry Ivchenko strangling his wife by the throat and raping her in Shevchenkovo, eastern Ukraine. Ivchenko covered her mouth with his hand to prevent her from screaming and dragged her into bushes, according to police. But he faces a shorter sentence than the husband who punched Ivchenko on the head before grabbing his Swiss army knife and chopping his penis off, the mail online reports. The husband’s attorney Dmitry Spaskin said to local media: ‘The husband lost the ability to control his actions. He did not understand what he was doing.’ See details; https://massmediang.com/man-cuts-off-p3nis-of-wifes-rapist-faces-longer-time-in-prison-than-attacker/

Terrifying footage shows the ‘senseless’ 70mph car chase through residential streets which killed an innocent mother-of-five. Lewis Fisher, 21, was seen ‘laughing’ and looked like he was ‘relishing the pursuit’ as Joseph Pownall, 27, tore after him ‘intent on revenge’. It stemmed from an earlier incident when one of Fisher’s friends smashed one of the windows of Pownall’s Volkswagen Amarok while it was parked outside a pub in Wigan on April 20. Footage shows the pair racing through built-up areas at more than double the 30mph speed limit before veering onto the wrong side of the road where Fisher’s Mercedes smashed head-on into a VW Polo driven by 34-year-old Joanne Bailey-Collinge. She suffered catastrophic injuries and died hours later. Fisher and Pownall were convicted of causing her death by dangerous driving and jailed for 11 and 12 years respectively at Manchester Crown Court. The court heard Mrs Bailey-Collinge and her family were on their way to a barbecue at a neighbour’s house.

When you want to eat in a nice restaurant the last thing that comes to your mind is environment of the dead. But operators of a restaurant in Ukraine believe the nicest way to have a fantastic meal is in a coffin. No one can really explain what drove these Ukrainian undertakers to build a giant coffin, fill it with a bunch of average-sized coffins and wreaths, and then start serving dinner inside of it. Whatever the motivation, whether it was driven by marketing, or simply their love of the craft, the Eternity Restaurant is a sight to behold. Crowned unchallenged as the largest coffin in the world by Guinness World Records, the casket is 20 meters long, 6 meters wide, and 6 meters high. Made out of pine (what else?) and furnished inside with the finest funeral décor, guests can enjoy dour dinners surrounded in the trappings of the recently deceased.

A mum has given birth to a ‘mini sumo wrestler’ baby girl who weighs a staggering 13lb. Remi Frances Millar was welcomed into the world by her parents Emma and Daniel Millar at Wollongong Hospital, south of Sydney, on Monday via emergency caesarean, around two weeks early. Emma, 27, has gestational diabetes and was told by doctors she would be giving birth to a larger than average baby but was stunned at the whopping weight for her newborn. Remi, who was born healthy, isn’t the first large baby born into the Millar family as the couple’s two-year-old daughter Willow was born weighing a whopping 12.2lb.

‘Jesus shoes’ with holy water soles sell out in minutes, Each Pair Now Costs N1.4 Million A shoe company is now saying you can walk on water in their sneakers and they aren’t technically wrong. Nike released a new pair of sneakers called “Jesus shoes.” And for just $1,400 and some change, you can get the experience of following in Christ’s footsteps. These shoes have water from the Jordan River injected into the soles. The Brooklyn-based design company bought less than 24 pairs of Nike Air Max 97’s for the “collab culture” venture. In addition to the holy water blessed by a priest, the white kicks feature a miniature crucifix, frankincense-scented wool insoles and a single drop of blood on the tongue to symbolize Jesus.

A village in the Philippines is trying to tackle the scourge of plastic waste by offering rice to residents in exchange for their trash. Residents of Bayanan outside the capital, Manila, can get one kg (2.2 lb) of rice, the staple food for Filipinos, for every two kg of plastic waste, which are handed over to the government for proper disposal or recycling. The Southeast Asian nation is among the world’s top marine plastic polluters, studies show, with laws on solid waste poorly enforced and no regulations on packaging manufacturing.

Anambra state government is taking action on major roads in the state. The potholes in major roads are currently being patched but in a strange manner. Cement and gravel mixed with water being used to patch the potholes. This could go for ‘indigenous technology’ or something close to it.

Cat Almost Dies After Mating with Five Females in Few Hours, Given Glucose Drip to Survive A male Russian Blue cat who was left to roam freely in a pet hotel in Sichuan, China, ended up needing a glucose drip to recover after mating with at least five female cats in just a few hours. News of the cat’s exploits was shared on Chinese social media by his owner, a certain Mr. Zhao, after receiving complaints from the pet hotel staff. Apparently, workers there neglected to feed his pet Russian Blue, named Xiaopi, and simply let him out of his cage to roam freely with all the other felines at the hotel, despite being explicitly told that he had not been neutered. Zhao wrote that the staff simply opened the cats cages and went home, leaving them to their own devices for the whole night. “They had the nerve to be upset with me. They wanted me to explain the situation to all the other owners,” Mr. Zhao wrote. “My f***ing cat is exhausted and on a glucose drip, and this is my fault?” See details; https://massmediang.com/cat-almost-dies-after-mating-with-five-females-in-few-hours-given-glucose-drip-to-survive/

On a two-acre fieldin England’s Midlands, Gavin and Alice Munro are taking sustainability to the next level: they harvest trees which they train to grow into chairs. The couple have a furniture farm in Derbyshire where they are nurturing 250 chairs, 100 lamps and 50 tables. It is their answer to what they see as the inefficient and carbon-heavy process of cutting down mature trees to create furniture. “Instead of force-growing a tree for 50 years and then cutting it down and making it into smaller and smaller bits …the idea is to grow the tree into the shape that you want directly. It’s a kind of zen 3D printing,” said Gavin. Part of the inspiration for the idea came when Gavin was a young boy. He spotted an overgrown bonsai tree which looked likea chair. He was also born with a curved spine and as a child spent several years wearing a metal frame to reset his back.

This is the story of a scientist who is doing a study with his colleague on how painful bites from dangerous animals could be. They allow dangerous reptiles and creeping animals to bite them, then they rank the pains to create a pain index. Can you imagine this level of research? Here’s the story. A daredevil scientist could be heard screaming in pain after letting a 6ft-python bite his arm in horrifying footage. TV presenter Adam Thorn, from Australia, needed stitches in his arm after the reptile drew blood. In the footage, which was recorded for a new TV series, the huge snake can be seen laid on a wooden table. As soon as the TV host, who is wearing a protective face mask, gets close to the animal, the python bites him. A man wearing a blue t-shirt eventually pulls the snake away as blood starts to come out from the scientist’s arm. The clip, which appeared on Mail Online, is part of History Channel’s new series “Kings of Pain”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slQZ1BIcyHQ https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-7521511/amp/Shocking-moment-scientist-left-needing-stitches-lets-six-foot-python-bite-him.html

A 6-year-old boy is dead in Arizona after his father allegedly poured hot water down his throat in an effort to exorcise his child — who he reportedly thought was possessed by a “demon.” The father, 31-year-old Pablo Martinez, was arrested after he told investigators what he did at his home on the Pascua Yaqui Tribe reservation on Thursday. Martinez told authorities he noticed his son had “a demon inside of him” during the past week, and when he was giving him a bath, he “saw something evil” inside his child, KGUN reported. Thinking he “had to cast the demon out,” Martinez allegedly held the boy under running hot water for five to 10 minutes. Romelia Martinez, the man’s wife and the boy’s adopted mother, said she heard a gurgling coming from the bathroom, where she found the boy being held under the faucet, and screamed at Martinez to stop. She dialed 911 before Martinez poured cold water over the boy and reportedly attempted CPR on him.

A young Ukrainian man has managed to successfully avoid compulsory military service by staying married to a woman 57 years his senior for almost two years. Despite widespread criticism online, the man has the law on his side. In late 2017, Alexander Kondratyuk, a young man from the Ukrainian city of Vinnitsa, received his conscription papers. He was to report to the nearest military commissariat for enlistment in his country’s one year military service. All able-bodied Ukrainian men aged between 18 and 26 are required to undergo military service, with one exception. If such a man were responsible for looking after a disabled wife, he would be exempt from service. So Alexander somehow convinced his cousin’s 81-year-old disabled grandmother to become his bride, and the couple have now been married for almost two years. Kondratyuk is 24, so after two more years he will become too old to undergo military service and probably divorce his octogenarian wife.

If you’ve ever laughed too loudly and hard before you better read this story then think twice before doing so again next time. A Chinese woman recently had to have her jaw set back in place by a doctor after she dislocated it by laughing too loudly. I guess laughter really wasn’t the best medicine for her, quite the contrary. The bizarre incident took place on September 1st, on a high-speed train heading to Guangzhou South Railway Station. Doctor Luo Wensheng, who had boarded the train in Kunming, the capital of south-western Yunnan Province, was commuting to Liwan Hospital – part of Guangzhou Medical University – when he heard an urgent appeal for medical assistance being broadcast through the carriage speakers. He rushed to help and found a female passenger who had her mouth open and was drooling profusely, which indicated that she had suffered a stroke, but he blood pressure was normal. It was only after speaking with eye-witnesses that he learned that the woman had become unable to close her mouth due to laughter.

Decent City to install Anti-sex Toilets Which Will Automatically Sound Alarm and Open Doors If Users Start ‘Doing it’ A seaside town is planning to install public toilets that will stop sexual activity by spraying amorous occupants with water and sounding an alarm. The new loos in the Welsh town of Porthcawl are also designed to prevent anti-social behaviour such as vandalism and drug taking. The toilets will have weight-sensitive floors to make sure only one person is using each cubicle at a time. Any violent movement will set off a water jet to soak users, sound an alarm and automatically open the doors. The water jets will also be used to prevent smoking and drug-taking, and the walls and floors will be resistant to graffiti.
