A Taiwanese man has tried to sue his five neighbors for training their mynah bird to insult him.

Wang Han-chin, an electrician in central Taiwan, claims that the offensive bird curses at him, calling him a “clueless, big-mouthed idiot”, every morning as he leaves for work.

He believes the bird’s owners have trained the mynah bird to insult him as revenge after he filed a complaint against them to the police that they were making too much noise.

The basis of his lawsuit alleges that the bird’s insults caused him serious distress and was the cause of his loss of concentration at work resulting in burn injuries.

In Kyoto, Japan, just about anything can happen and usually does.

The Mainichi Daily News, a Japanese newspaper, reported this macabre tale about a 55-year-old man who did not report the death of his father and kept him stuffed in a wardrobe even after the body began to smell in order to continue to receive government pension checks in his name.

Japan is a land renowned for its elderly population, but it would certainly seem now that these records might not all reflect honest life spans and are nothing more than good old scams to perpetrate government checks.

An investigation for fraud is under way as well as the crime of abandonment of the father’s body. The ruse continued for five years until the son was admitted to the hospital and during his stay, his ex-wife visited the apartment.

She knew that her ex father-in-law had been living with his son for the last decade and wondered why there was no trace of him or his belongings anywhere.

She called authorities and an officer visiting the apartment followed his nose to the wardrobe. After obtaining a warrant, the police discovered the mummified remains.

Everyone knows North Korea is one of the more…weird countries out there. It’s ruled by the diminutive and utterly insane Kim Jong-Il and is fiercely militaristic, ensuring the world that you best bring your A-game if you want to challenge it to a game of RISK. What people don’t know, however, is its love of human excrement.

Yes, human excrement. Poop. Feces. The end result of a Taco Bell bender. All of this and more is apparently a hot commodity just north of the DMZ.

According to Professor Kim Young-soo of Sogang University in Seoul, South Korea, interviews with a number of North Korean defectors revealed that skinny jeans (Hipster couture), adult films, and yes, human excrement are selling like “hot cakes.”

Don’t try to convince Zhu jianqiang, a very smart pig whose name translates from the Chinese to mean “strong-willed, that the center of gravity makes balancing and walking on just front legs an impossible task.

She defies convention every day of her life.

The female piglet was born into a litter of nine strong siblings and neighbors and friends encouraged her owner, Wang Xihai, to put her down. But Wang is a farmer with a heart who was touched by the animal’s indomitable will to survive. He gave her that chance and she grabbed it in the unique way that piglets do, beating all odds of survival.

In Darjeeling, a mountainous tea-growing district of the eastern state of West Bengal, a 27 year-old man has been arrested for duping 60 women into marrying him and then selling them into prostitution.

Bikky Biswarkarma pretended to be a well paid army officer home on holiday when over a five year period, he married at least 60 girls and then sold them to brothels in Mumbai and Pune, cities in the western state of Maharastra, for 70,000-100,000 rupees ($1,500-$2,000).

“He used to pose as an army man on leave who…wanted to get married before returning to work. He would change bases frequently to lure girls from poor families in tea gardens and villages,” said district police chief, Debendra Prasad Singh.

Biswakarma was particularly cold-hearted. He would transport his new wife via train, telling her wanted her to meet a relative. A brothel owner would then arrive on the scene and coax her to go with him. Our hero would then leave his new, naïve bride to her undeserved fate.
