Fighting couple strip naked in the middle of Chinese street

It was a fierce and very public row that was just too hot to handle.Standing in the middle of the street screaming at each, this young Chinese couple found the only way to cool things down was to remove their clothes.

So they did just that with first the man and then the woman performing a striptease for motorists and passers-by in Dongguan, Guangdong Province.

Amazingly, few took little notice even when the girl stood stark naked in the middle of the street.But witness Jiang Dayu did have the foresight to snap the scenes on his mobile phone.

'The couple started to quarrel at the roadside, then moved to the middle of the street', he said.'They completely ignored the traffic that was driving past even though people were beeping their horns and having to weave around them.

China halts some North Korea tours

Chinese tourism authorities have told travel agencies to call off some visits to North Korea, it has been reported, amid escalating tensions on the peninsula.
But other trips are to go ahead, companies in China have said.

The development came as the South's Yonhap news agency reported the North could launch several missiles without warning and at any time, citing national security officials who said satellite imagery showed more mobile launchers on the country's east coast in addition to the two already thought to have been deployed.

Any launches are expected to be tests, possibly timed to key dates in the North's political calendar – notably the upcoming anniversary of the birth of its founder, Kim Il-sung.

Despite the weeks of threats analysts say there is no sign of mass troop movements near the Korean border and point out that the North has a history of bellicose rhetoric.

"If history is any guide, in a few weeks' time things will calm down … It does not make sense to credulously take their fake belligerence at face value and give them the attention they want now," wrote Andrei Lankov of Kookmin University.

I believe Kim Jong Un wanted to be noticed. He should now put his people into consideration

Real Hangover: Drunken man dangles from power cables

Having a drink when we’re in a bad mood is something most people can relate to, but climbing on to an overhead power cable afterwards is a bit more unusual.

That was the excuse and response of one man in China after he had a few too many drinks last week, as his climbing antics were caught on camera and broadcast on state TV.The footage shows him dangling from the wires upside down from a height of around 9m (30ft) and moving sloth-like along the cables in Linfen, in northern China’s Shanxi province.

After the power was cut a firefighter climbed an electricity pole to attempt to coax the man down, but he refused to play ball.The drunken climber lost his grip and fell on to a second layer of wires below before finally giving up altogether and landing on a safety cushion installed by emergency services.

CCTV reported that the man miraculously escaped without any injuries, apart from an excessive amount of alcohol in his blood.

That is the rwa power of excessive alcohol.
