China Is Building 'The Mother of All Bombs
what do we know about China’s big bomb? Not much, and what there is may be mere hype.
China has joined the “Mother of All Bombs” club.
A Chinese arms maker has unveiled a weapon similar to America’s GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast bomb, or MOAB (hence the nickname “Mother of All Bombs”). The Chinese version was dropped from an H-6K bomber, the Chinese version of the 1950s Soviet Tu-16 aircraft.
Photographs on China’s state-owned Global Times news site showed earlier in the year what appeared to be a large bomb falling from a bomb bay, and then a large explosion. Chinese military analyst Wei Dongxu told Global Times that based on photographic evidence and the size of the H-6K’s bomb bay, the bomb was five to six meters long (16.4 to 19.7 feet long). Chinese media also suggested that the bomb weighed several tons, and was so big that the H-6K could only carry one.

Masturbation Contest: China Holds First Ever ‘Wankathon’
China’s first ever ‘World AIDS Day Masturbation Contest’ took place on December 1, 2012.
Dubbed ‘Wankathon’, the idea of the contest was to celebrate ‘HIV risk-free sexual freedom’ and was sponsored by sex toy manufacturer Aihuirun.
The ten male participants wore masks and hid their genitals with orange buckets that would later reveal the ‘fruits of their labour’. There was however no full front nudity.
In the contest, everyone was a winner, no matter the position you came (no pun intended).
The current world record holder of the ‘Longest Time Spent Masturbating’ is Sonny Nash. The pornstar ‘pleasured himself’ for as long as 10 hours and 10 minutes in May, 2012.

Men beaten to death while trying to hijack plane
TWO men who allegedly tried to hijack a plane in China were beaten to death by passengers and crew.
The Global Times newspaper reported that two of the suspects died in hospital from injuries they suffered during the ensuing fight with passengers and crew on board.
The men were part of a six-strong gang involved in the foiled hijack of a Tianjin Airlines flight bound for the regional capital of Urumqi last Friday.
Just minutes after the flight took off from Hetian, southwest Xinjiang, the men, all aged between 20 and 36, stood up and announced their plans to terrified passengers.
The gang reportedly broke a pair of aluminium crutches and used them to attack passengers while attempting to break into the cockpit, Hou Hanmin, a regional government spokeswoman said.
They were tackled by police and passengers who tied them up with belts before the plane, carrying 101 people, returned to the airport safely just 22 minutes later.
Hanmin added that police were still testing materials they had been carrying, thought to be explosives.
The men were reported to be Uighurs, the local Muslim ethnic minority. There have been clashes between authorities and Uighurs resentful of government controls over their religion and culture.
Dilxat Raxit, spokesman for the German-based World Uyghur Congress which campaigns for Uighurs’ rights, said that it wasn’t a hijacking attempt, rather an in-flight brawl over a seat dispute.
“We warn China not to use this incident as another excuse for crackdown,” he said in an emailed statement.
Two more suspects are reportedly being treated in hospital after mutilating themselves.
