Most had a 'normal' newspaper but one of the dailies was huge , double size , but had all the 'business news', stock market , etc . the train would be cramped and I noticed some of them had developed an art of folding it down to 1/4 size and through unfathomable origami where able to work their way through the paper with it never getting above half size = normal size . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nungali Posted July 22 The South China Morning Post reports that an unnamed woman in Xinxiang City, China, dropped her phone, worth about $320, into the open pit toilet. Her husband tried to find it but was overcome by the stench, lost consciousness and fell in. His mother then dove in after her son but she also fainted. Neighbors were called for help after the owner of the phone then tried to save her husband and mother-in-law but also lost consciousness. A total of six people had to be pulled out of the toilet. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
