World’s Longest Re-fuel Queue

11/18/09 - Unbelievable

Taxi drivers in a Chinese city are complaining that they are having to queue for miles to refuel their cars. Cabbies in Chongqing can use either petrol or natural gas but they prefer to use natural gas as it is much cheaper. But a cold weather snap has led to shortages with production falling and more people using gas to heat their homes. Queues at the local natural gas station at Rongqiao are going back miles – with yellow cabs snaking all of the way around the double loop of a flyover and beyond. A spokesman for the Chongqing Natural Gas Group told Xinhua Net: “We are doing what we can to solve the problem by increasing production.” w/ photo

Adams, you see, is 7-foot-4. That’s right; the tallest teen-age boy in the world according to the Guinness Book of World Records is playing football this year. In middle school. “This is the first year my mom’s let me play,” Adams told Melissa Luck, an executive producer for KXLY4 in Spokane. “She thought I was gonna get hurt or something. It’s my favorite sport and she said this is an opportunity she didn’t want me to miss.” Luck’s story details Adams’ growth and his love of the game. First, his height.

World’s Smallest Mother Returns

11/10/09 - Unbelievable

The world’s smallest mother is about to give birth for the third time – despite warnings she is risking her life. Stacey Herald, who is just 2ft 4in tall, was told that becoming pregnant could kill her, but bravely defied doctors to have two babies half her height. The 35-year-old from Dry Ridge, Kentucky in the U.S. suffers from Osteogenesis Imperfecta, which causes brittle bones and underdeveloped lungs, and means she failed to grow. Now Mrs Herald, who uses a wheelchair, and her husband Will, who is 5ft 9in, are eagerly awaiting the birth of their third baby, due in the next four weeks. Currently as wide as she is tall, she cannot hold her daughter because her belly gets in the way, and has to rely on her husband to do most things around the house. She admits being pregnant is ‘uncomfortable’ and leaves her bedridden for weeks on end. By the time the new addition, a boy, is one he will already tower over his mother.” w/ photos

World’s Luckiest Old Lady

11/03/09 - Unbelievable

A pensioner had a miracle escape as she drove to church – when a 65ft tree crushed her car and she walked away uninjured. Chris Challinor, 70, got the surprise of her life when the mammoth beech crashed onto the bonnet of her Volkswagen Polo. The front of the car was completely crushed by the trunk – meaning Chris would have been killed if the vehicle was just a few yards further along the road. She suffered only shock during the incident at 10.30am on Sunday and the grandmother-of-six says she is ‘very lucky to be alive’. Chris, of Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, said: ‘I feel incredibly fortunate. If the tree had come down half a second later I would have been killed. ‘The whole thing is a blur because it happened so quickly. I just remember coming to an immediate stop with the huge trunk smashing into the bonnet. I was frozen in shock until the police and fire service came to release me. ‘I was sorry not to make it to church but I think someone may have been looking down on me after all.” w/ photos
