Kids at work
Nice, makes all the other kids at work days look a little lame... But there is always next year! More than 40 children were shocked with stun guns on Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day.During demonstrations at two prisons on April 23, children aged between five and 17 held hands in a circle and one was shocked with a stun gun, passing the shock around the circle. At another prison, children were shocked individually.
None was seriously hurt or taken to hospital, the state’s Department of Corrections said.

Passer-by pushes suicide jumper in south China
BEIJING – Chen Fuchao, a man heavily in debt, had been contemplating suicide on a bridge in southern China for hours when a passer-by came up, shook his hand — and pushed him off the ledge.
Chen fell 26 feet (8 meters) onto a partially inflated emergency air cushion laid out by authorities and survived, suffering spine and elbow injuries, the official Xinhua News Agency said Saturday.
The passer-by, 66-year-old Lai Jiansheng, had been fed up with what he called Chen's "selfish activity," Xinhua said. Traffic around the Haizhu bridge in the city of Guangzhou had been backed up for five hours and police had cordoned off the area.
"I pushed him off because jumpers like Chen are very selfish. Their action violates a lot of public interest," Lai was quoted as saying by Xinhua. "They do not really dare to kill themselves. Instead, they just want to raise the relevant government authorities' attention to their appeals."
