Fish Got Your Skin?
You've heard of the figurative phrase "cat got your tongue". How about the literal phrase "fish got your skin"?
That's what Residents of southwestern Chongqing are experiencing as a local hotspring introduced fish therapy this week.
Visitors to the hot spring are placed in a gentle bath filled with many tiny fish.
The small fish used in the treatment are then believed to eat the dry skin humans normally shed, thus enabling them to heal some skin diseases.
Worth of Your Girl
Just how much is your girlfriend worth? Well, here's an online calculator that tells you -- no more than 320 US dollars.
Many male users of an online forum are using a newly discovered program to calculate the value of their girlfriends.
However, barely any girls score more than 2,500 yuan, or 320 US dollars, which disappoints many couples. A man surnamed Li reportedly has the girlfriend with the most value, at 2,500 yuan.
He said, proudly, that the game was quite fun. The results are based on 19 items of personal information, including the girlfriends' height, weight, number of previous relationships, and whether she eats onions and plays mahjong.
If your girl has passed the College English Test Band Four, 300 yuan is added to her value.
Although the creator of the game is unknown, many are users of the online calculator say it to some degree reflects Chinese people's attitudes towards modern women.
Doggie Toilet
Dogs in Zhengzhou look like they may need a "how to" when it comes to a new way of relasing their "do-do."
That's because a tiny toliet has been build for pups looking to unload.
The public toilet for dogs welcomed its first little user in Zhengzhou, Henan Province on Wednesday.
The exterior of the toilet looks like a tiny house and it was built by a local citizen who hopes to bring more convenience to dog walkers.
As far how the dogs are taking to it? Well, no K9's were able to comment. |
