Some oddities.

A pair of Chinese parents tried to name their baby “@”. How ingenious! I wonder what possessed them, and of course, the Chinese government did not allow this nonsense.

In South Africa a man who has been shot cannot get a doctor to remove the bullet. He was shot through the elbow where the bullet entered his body above the waist, missing vital organs and is lodged opposite of its entry under the skin yet.

He originally went to a private hospital which turned him down because he did not have enough money. He then went to a public hospital which patched him up and sent him home with painkillers. When he returned to the hospital complaining the bullet was causing pain he was told to “walk it off”.
