First they have plastic milk, now watermelon landmines. [laugh]

 

FIELDS of exploding watermelons are creating havoc in China, and farmers overdosing their crops with growth chemicals are getting the blame.

 

About 20 farmers around Danyang city in Jiangsu province have been affected, losing up to 45 hectares of melon, China Central Television said in an investigative report.

 

The broadcaster described the watermelons as "land mines" and said they were exploding by the hectare in the Danyang area.

 

Prices during the past year have prompted many farmers to jump into the watermelon market.

 

All of those with exploding melons apparently were first-time users of the growth accelerator forchlorfenuron, though it has been widely available for some time, CCTV said.

Or how about "Glow in the dark" pork? [laugh] If the world really end in 2012, I suspect PRC will have a large role in it.

Miss Chen the purchased a kilogram of pork from a wet market on Yang Gao North Road the day before yesterday. That night her family used a portion of that pork to make dumplings together. Afterward, she placed the leftover pork on a small table in the kitchen. At 11pm, Miss Chen got out of bed to use the toilet, and suddenly noticed a faint blue glow coming from the kitchen, and that the bright blue glow was coming from the pork itself!
