ACCIDENT waiting to happen?
A newly-formed elite squad of
police women in the Chinese city
of Chengdu may want to consider
investing in a first aid kit after the
force insisted they get around the
streets in rollerblades.
The eight officers now patrol
Chengdu’s up-market Tianfu Square,
which is a favourite spot of pickpockets
who prey on tourists.
“It’s efficient, effective and
more environmentally friendly
than patrolling in cars,” said the
official behind the skating scheme.
WHAT a trooper!
One very determined law
student in the US state of Illinois
recently sat for her bar exam
whilst in labour.
The woman was in day two of
the exam (which allows
graduating law students to
officially practice law), when
shortly after sitting down to
begin, she went into “active labour”.
The woman calmly breathed
through it and completed her test
early, before walking across the
road and giving birth to a 6lbs, 6
ounce baby boy two hours later!
PREHISTORIC survivor.
An extremely rare and
endangered green turtle, named
Andre, has been released back
into the wild, after a mammoth
414-day rehabilitation.
More than a year ago Andre was
found at death’s door, having
gaping holes in his shell, an
exposed spine, a collapsed lung, a
severe infection and 3kgs of sand
and debris inside him.
Vets at Loggerhead Marinelife
Centre put him back together,
using “vacuum therapy” to
remove debris, braces similar to
human dental ones to close the
holes in his shell, and a procedure
used to regrow human breast
tissue to fill in his missing tissue.
The 80kg Andre is now back to
full health, and it is hoped his
release will see him mate and
help with the survival of his species.
