1202 Bikini Bearing Ladies Brake Record


1202. One thousand two hundred and two. Damn.

A total of 1202 bikini-clad ladies have broken the world record for the highest number of women attending a swimsuit photo shoot.

The girls broke the record at a waterpark in Guangzhou, China, by resembling the shape of the Olympic emblem, in celebration of the 2008 Beijing Olympic games which is approaching (in August).

The previous record was set at Bondi Beach, Australia, with 1010 participants.

1202. That's 1201 more than I've seen in my lifetime.

Mosquito Corpses Part Of Promotion Plan.



When you think you've seen everything in the world of promotions and advertising, something like this comes up.

A Chinese man who set up an online business selling dead mosquitoes says he's received 10,000 orders in just two days.

Nin Nan, of Shanghai, came up with the idea of selling mosquitoes he killed to attract visitors to his online jewellery shop.

Nin sells his mosquito corpses for six yuan - about 45p - each. His ad reads: "Truly killed by human hands. Can be used for science studies, decoration, and collection."

He says that his shop registered 250,000 hits and he received more than 10,000 orders for dead mossies within two days of posting the ad on various forums.


I wonder if I could think of a similar promotion plan? Anyone up for buying some hand-killed cockroaches? They're straight from the sewers! No? Oh, well.

Baby Born With An Extra Penis On Its Back


In Hejian city, China, a baby was born with a very rare condition - fetus in fetu (FIF). In this case the condition presented itself as an extra reproductive organ on the newborn's back. On the June 6 after a 6 hour surgery the additional penis was removed and doctors reported the infant was fine.

We wish him all the best. Let's just hope he won't regret having his second penis omitted when he grows up. He could have made a fortune writing a KamaSutra book with some pretty novel positions.
