Man Drinks Gasoline for 42 Yrs

Man drinks gasoline for 42 years

Gasoline powers vehicles all around the world, but a sick Chinese man has been drinking the sticky liquid for 42 years under the illusion that it can relieve his physical pain.

Chen Dejun, 71, lives by himself in shabby thatched cottage on a hill in Shuijiang township, Nanchuan district of southwest China's Chongqing municipality. The short and bony man said he drinks 3 to 3.5 kilograms of gasoline every month, which he buys from a station at the foot of the hill.

Chen is known locally as a stonecutter and master of weaving bamboo with a good business sense. But he’s also known for his undying love of drinking gasoline.

He developed the habit back in 1969 when he suddenly began coughing and felt pain in his chest. Seeing no progress after trying some medicine, he took up the folk remedy of drinking kerosene, Chongqing Evening News reported.

It turned out to be helpful for him after the first sip, and he since became addicted to kerosene. Then he moved on to gasoline.

Chen said it is hard to calculate exactly how much gasoline he has swallowed throughout his life, but the newspaper reported Chen has consumed an estimated 1.5 tons over the past 42 years.

Chen's wife Yuan Huibi and their three sons tried many times to stop Chen's addiction to gasoline, but those efforts only made the family relations tense. Eight years ago Chen moved to the cottage to live alone.

Sources from Honglou Hospital in Chongqing said Chen‘s health is fine despite having symptoms of emphysema. Chen refused to receive free check ups from the hospital.

Feng Fu, an associate professor with the Second Hospital Affiliated to Chongqing Medical University, said Chen may have developed some resistance to gasoline. Otherwise, Feng said, it would be impossible for Chen to live. Feng also said gasoline may only work as anaesthetic for Chen but can’t cure his pain.

Aokigahara – Forest Of Suicides (Not For Minors)

WARNING: Photos of Suicide Victims Shown. View at own risk.

So I was randomly researching suicide on wikipedia (like most people do) and watching episodes of Hard Gay (again, like most people do), and I ran into a very interesting location: Aokigahara. Aokigahara, also known as the Sea of Trees, is a forest at the base of Mount Fuji in Japan. What makes it so interesting, you ask? Well, this place is famous for the number of suicides that have occurred in it.

The trend for people to go to Aokigahara to commit suicide seems to have been popularized by a novel called Kuroi Jukai, which is a tragic love-tale that ends with the main couple committing suicide in Aokigahara. Personally, I'd feel like a total asshole if my book was the single cause of a place becoming a prime location for suicides. Though to be fair, he probably had no idea that was going to happen...

Since 1950, over 500 bodies were reported to have been found within the forest. In 2002, the body count peaked with 78 bodies being found in that year alone. Now mind you, this is the count for REPORTED bodies. Aokigahara is a big forest nestled with trees; they probably haven't even found half of the people that have committed suicide there.

This is a sign located near a designated entrance of the forest (one of many spread all throughout the place). It reads, "Your life is precious, and was given to you by your parents. Please think about your parents, siblings, and children. Please get help, don't go through this alone." Quite eerie, isn't it? To think, suicide in this forest is so prevalent that they have to put signs up to make people reconsider their actions.

WARNING: Now, the next few pictures are very disturbing so if you are faint-hearted, I suggest you don't stop to look at the photos. The next few pictures are of some of the bodies they found at the forest during annual searches. As you can see from a few of the photos, a lot of the bodies are decomposing and some are nothing but bones. This just shows how many of the bodies are not found for a very long time, and some may even end up disappearing after fully decomposing and being buried under the dirt and plant-life.

Again, this is not for the faint-hearted.

Jesus Christ, okay that was really creepy. Sorry if you saw some of them out of curiosity. I felt the need to put them up to show you just how real all of this is. There are many legends surrounding Aokigahara, many of them pertaining to spirits and the negative energy that the forest has been filled with due to all the deaths. Many people even go on scavenger hunts because of all the garbage that is left by people who either go to Aokigahara to explore the place or end their lives. The forest is equally disturbing and interesting, its amazing how one place can be known for something as depressing as suicide. Though honestly, I wouldn't mind going to sight-see a bit.

See how cruel some people can be !!

The more I know certain immoral people, the more I realize how much I prefer dogs. Fortunately, this story has a happy ending. See how cruel some people can be.

This immoral piece of crap hurled a helpless puppy into the freezing ocean in Xiamen, China as people looked on in shock and horror. Each time the puppy would swim back to shore, only to be thrown back in again. 

After throwing the puppy five times into the ocean it swam to a rock, where some people rescued it.

A woman onlooker took possession of the poor puppy and said she was going to adopt him.

The rescued puppy is taken home by a new owner after its ordeal. No word yet on who the scumbag was.

HOW TO DETECT A 2-WAY MIRROR?
When we visit toilets, bathrooms, hotel rooms, changing rooms, etc., How many of you know for sure that the seemingly ordinary mirror hanging on the wall is a real mirror, or actually a 2-way mirror I.e., they can see you, but you can't see them. There have been many cases of people installing 2-way mirrors in female changing rooms or bathroom or bedrooms.
It is very difficult to positively identify the surface by just looking at it. So, how do we determine with any amount of certainty what type of Mirror we are looking at?
CONDUCT THIS SIMPLE TEST:
Place the tip of your fingernail against the reflective surface and if there is a GAP between your fingernail and the image of the nail, then it is a GENUINE mirror.
However, if your fingernail DIRECTLY TOUCHES the image of your nail, then BEWARE, IT IS A 2-WAY MIRROR! (There may be someone seeing you from the other side). So remember, every time you see a mirror, do the "fingernail test." It doesn't cost you anything. It is simple to do.
This is a really good thing to do. The reason there is a gap on a real mirror, is because the silver is on the back of the mirror UNDER the glass.
Whereas with a two-way mirror, the silver is on the surface. Keep it in mind! Make sure and check every time you enter in hotel rooms.

World's Tallest Female Dog

World's Tallest Female Dog Is Nova, A Great Dane — Nova, a Great Dane, who's 2 feet, 11.51 inches tall is the world's tallest female dog, according to Guinness World Records. That's 35.51 inches from paw to shoulder for Nova, who takes up a lot of space in her owner's house in Addison, Ill. and there's 160 pounds packed onto that frame. She eats through 50 pounds per week. Owner Ann Suplee said strangers often say her dog looks like "a horse galloping" and ask her "Are you getting ready for the Kentucky Derby?" according to a statement from Guinness. But super Nova is a pipsqueak compared to Giant George of Tucson, the tallest male dog, who's 43 inches tall. 

Navaratna-Tata Nano Car

 One for the jewel carriageway: World's cheapest new car coated in £3m of gold, silver and gems. The world's cheapest new car has been turned into one of the planet's most expensive after it was covered with £3 million worth of bling. The Tata Nano, which normally sells for under £2,000, has been coated in gold, silver and gems in recognition of India's booming economy and 5,000 year-old jewellery trade. Thirty artists were employed to decorate the tiny car in 80kg of 22 carat gold, 15kg of silver and 10,000 semi precious stones and gems.

Flashy motor: Today Tata unveiled its 'Nano' car crafted in gold, silver and gem stones in Mumbai, India, and below the amount of precious metals and stones used in the one-off design is shown clearly side on. Billionaire businessman Ratan Tata - who recently bought Jaguar Land Rover to add to his collection of car companies - ordered the one-off design to celebrate the strength of his country's growing wealth and mark its history. Paying homage to 5,000 years of jewellery tradition in India, Tata Motors said it had created the world's first 'jewellery car'. Unveiling: Ratan Tata, chairman of Tata Group, standing next to the car which he says celebrates 5,000 years of jewellery making in India. Fascinated: People stare at the Goldplus car covered in 80kg of 22 carat gold, 15kg of silver and 10,000 semi precious stones and gems.  Aimed at emerging middle class, the original Nano that launched with a 100,000-long customer waiting list in 2008 has seen sales plummet.

Founded: 1945

Headquarters: Mumbai, India

Profits: £1.3bn in 2010/2011

Employees: 50,000

Sales per month: 75,000 vehicles

In August the Mumbai-based group shipped just 1,202 units, down 88 per cent from April's 10,012 units. Analysts blame the Nano's poor safety record as several incidents of the cars spontaneously bursting into flames were widely reported. Its existing Nano customers were offered a safety upgrade to its electrical and exhaust systems. But despite the problems the company announced on Monday it would invest £355 million in building a new engine plant at Jaguar Land Rover near Wolverhampton.
