The new born pig with 6 legs and 2 anuses has been discovered in China. Further details are sketchy.
Back in 2007, a piglet in Croatia was born with six legs and two penises. It was nicknamed Octopig by his owner.
He’s not exactly green-fingered, but this bizarre plant from southern China seems to be more than a handful for any gardener.
The root – from the He Shou Wu plant – is used in traditional medicine to rejuvenate virility and strength and is even said to turn grey hair back to black.
Farmer Lu Chen, 47 – from Nanning – has been offered up to £100 for the plant but refused to sell.
“I think it is a sign that my farm will have new fertility and that I’m going to have a bumper crop this year,” he explained.
A viral video currently spreading on China’s internet features a Chinese woman fighting with a man who turns out to be the groom’s boyfriend, the groom helplessly caught between them trying to explain.
In China, it is common for gay men and women to get married because of the pressure put on them by their parents and family to have a baby. In these cases the spouse mostly does not know that their partner is gay.

Boyfriend: You shut up, us two were together long before you entered the picture!
Bride: What do you mean you two were together long before I was in the picture?
Groom: Hey hey, don’t get physical, don’t get physical.
Bride: Just who the fuck are you!?
Boyfriend: Shut up!
Bride: It’s my wedding, what are you doing here?! Who are you? Who is he?
Groom: Wait, wait, wait.
Bride: Who is he? Tell me, who is he?
Groom: Let me explain.
Boyfriend: Don’t explain to her.
Bride: What are you doing, what fucking business is it of yours?
Best Man: Enough, enough, both of you calm down.
Bride: Tell me, who is he? Who is he?!
Bride: You come back here!
Some people have claimed that this video could be fake and may be the end of a short film.
Tian Xiaoying bought a chicken from her local supermarket, like she had done many times before. She took it home to get it ready for that night’s dinner.
But Ms Xiaoying was horrified when she discovered the chicken had two slightly smaller legs attached to it.
‘I dare not eat it,’ she said to a local paper in Changsha in the province of Hunan, China, and added that it would be going straight into the bin.
However, a top university professor in the country said it would have been perfectly edible and was harmless.
Professor Li Anping of Central South University of Forestry and Technology said: ‘The chicken embryo may have been affected by different kinds of factors such a radioactivity and developed a deformation.’
According to China Daily, the local paper was unable to trace the source of the chicken but both the supermarket and supplier said they would be investigating.
A groom in China has taken his new bride home from the church in a tractor instead of the more traditional horse-drawn carriage or car.
He also ordered a whole fleet of similar vehicles to carry their friends and family behind.
The convoy of red tractors was spotted passing through Shilpu in east China’s Anhui Province, where amused villagers lined the streets to grab a glimpse of the strange sight.
The groom, Liu Fei, said: ‘It’s to the taste of us young people chasing after fashion to take my bride home by tractor.
‘As a tractor driver, I should not forget my trade.’
He added: ‘We have to rely on tractors and agricultural undertakings to get rich.’
The fleet of farming vehicles were decorated with bows and pink balloons for the couple’s special day, which went off without a hitch.
The bride Zhang Yun also seemed pleased with the unorthodox transport provided, although she did have one awkward moment as she struggled to get down from the high-seated vehicle.
Canny Li Ch’in, has earned a fortune providing mourners to cry at the graves of the dearly departed for people too busy to visit their loved ones’ tombs in person.
Li, 36, – from Tianjin city, northern China – has a cast of more than 30 out of work actors and hires them out for funerals and special events like this month’s tomb sweeping festival, where people are supposed to visit their family graves.
“Sadly these days people work too hard to be able to keep up the traditions, but don’t want to lose face in the community or insult their ancestors, so my mourners will go for them,” explained Li.
The basic package of four mourners costs £300 for a one-hour service – that also includes burning joss sticks, placing a ritual food offering at the grave, reading a eulogy and crying loudly in front of the tomb.
“I charge by the 10 minutes for the crying – that’s the most expensive bit. My staff are very skilled wailers. I teach them all how to cry, wail, and sob at the drop of a hat so they sound very mournful,” he added.
Li explained: “Official mourners go back to the old emperors of China. Now our people are all equal, we can all have our own mourners.”
