And....

[quote:87gzhmfj]Bill Daws, a county commissioner, called the odor "the worst smell that I've ever smelled."[/quote:87gzhmfj]

That ain't picante sauce...

[quote:87gzhmfj]"According to the (Enrivonmental Protection Agency) it is not a health hazard, it is just a nuisance because of the smell,And what a smell it is, according to some. "I've described it as chicken litter and a little more," said Jackson, an enforcement officer with the county revenue department.[/quote:87gzhmfj]

You can't make this stuff up...

[quote:87gzhmfj]Farmer Gary Peek said the free fertilizer is saving him a lot of money and enriching pasture land.

[size=150:2f788a63][color=green:2f788a63]Doctors baffled by green sweat[/size:2f788a63][/color:2f788a63]

[size=100:2f788a63]Doctors in China admit they are baffled after a man began to perspire [color=green:2f788a63]green[/color:2f788a63] sweat.[/size:2f788a63]

[img:2f788a63]http://www.ananova.com/images/web/1179366.jpg[/img:2f788a63]
Cheng Shunguo, 52, of Wuhan city, says his sweat turned [color=green:2f788a63]green[/color:2f788a63] in the middle of November.

"I noticed that my underwear and bed sheets were all [color=green:2f788a63]green[/color:2f788a63], and even the water in the shower," he told the Chutian Metropolis News.

Cheng says he feels no discomfort, but went to hospital because he was worried about his condition.

Doctors thoroughly cleaned his armpits but it took only 10 minutes for his sweat to turn a piece of white gauze [color=green:2f788a63]green[/color:2f788a63] again.

They have carried out blood tests on Cheng, but found everything to be normal.

"We can't find the cause," admitted a spokesman for the hospital which reported the case to the media in the hope of finding a solution.

[size=150:2tlanr69] China cop promoted for breastfeeding quake babies[/size:2tlanr69]

BEIJING (Reuters) - A Chinese policewoman who breastfed babies orphaned during last month's earthquake has been given a better job, prompting online protests that promotions should be awarded on merit, not merely for good deeds.

Jiang Xiaojuan, 30, left her own baby with her parents and took part in the disaster relief work, breastfeeding nine babies, earning her the nickname of "the police mum" in the press.

She has since been awarded titles of "hero and model police officer" and "excellent member of the Communist Party", was appointed to the Communist Party of China Committee of the Jiangyou Public Security Bureau and became the bureau's vice commissar, Xinhua news agency said on Saturday.

Jiangyou, population 850,000, is a city near the epicentre of the May 12 Sichuan quake which killed more than 69,000 people with thousands still missing.

"Many people voiced objections when the Jiangyou government sought public opinion after making the promotion," Xinhua said. "They said an official position should not be used to promote a moral model."

There were also supporters of Jiang's promotion, saying that what she did showed she was a good public servant.


Indeed :twisted:
