In a case which doctors describe as a “miracle” and has been widely covered by the Chinese media and discussed on the internet, surgeons in southern China have removed a rusty, 10cm (4in) blade from the skull of a man who said it had been stuck in there for four years.
The 30 year old man, Li Fuyan, had been suffering from severe headaches, bad breath and breathing difficulties but never knew why. Li told doctors he had been stabbed in the lower right jaw by a robber four years ago and the blade broke off inside his head without anyone realising it.
Surgeons worked cautiously to remove the badly corroded blade without shattering it. “We checked his mouth, but no wound or scar has been found. It is very strange as to how the blade got into his head,” Xu Wen, deputy director of the hospital’s stomatology department, told state broadcaster CCTV.
Dr Eugene Flamm, chairman of neurosurgery at New York’s Montefiore medical centre, said x-ray images of the man’s head posted on the hospital’s website show the knife sitting behind the man’s throat, having missed the carotid artery and other key structures.

Taiwan has some of the craziest stories.
A convenience store employee had his face rubbed with feces by an angry customer who tried to use the store’s bathroom. The customer urgently needed to shit but was faced with a locked toilet door. Unable to hold it in anymore, the customer let it all slip out. Being more angry than embarrassed, this customer started going on a rampage which ended with poo everywhere.
See for yourselves:
In Taiwan, you better have a good excuse for not paying debt, especially, that owed to drug dealers or you might end up losing something “very” precious.
This 28 year old man found out the hard way. He only owed 4,700 Taiwan Dollars (or 160 USD).
In a total shock to airport security across the globe, an Asian male in his twenties managed to board a flight from Hong Kong to Canada. In what would be described as “something only seen in movies”, the man disguised himself as an old Caucasian – “Mission Impossible” style.
Apparently he is seeking refugee status in Canada and he used the frequent flyer card of a “real” Caucasian to pass boarding checks.
Details on how he actually managed to bypass multiple layers of airport security checks and his real motives for going through so much trouble are unclear at the moment.
Below are some videos on the incident:
