Chinese police mistakenly rescued "drowning" sex doll

A major operation was launched to rescue a woman in the waters of a river in Shandong Province, with 18 police officer involved in the dramatic events. They responded after reports from the public of a woman in distress in the river.

However when the ‘woman’ was pulled from the water by officer, it became apparent that it was actually a sex doll the officers had rescued and not a woman. Around 1000 people had gathered by the riverside during the hour long rescue and according to RocketNews24.com when the officer realised what they had rescued they presented the doll to the crowd. Parents covered their children’s eyes before leaving the scene which turned out to be less exciting than they thought it would be.

A spokesman for the police said that they were forced to act because the toy was so similar in size and appearance to an adult female. The incident, which happened in the region, is not the first of its kind involving sex toys. Because Shandong Province which is major manufacturing centre for sex toys some can go amiss, last month a young Chinese reporter was left red faced when she mistook a sex toy for a rare mushroom. The ‘mushroom’ had been discovered by Villagers from Liucunbu, a rural community outside western Chinese city of Xi’an when they were drilling a new mine shaft.

Apparently the sex toy, designed for women resembles a rare mushroom so it can be easy to mistake, well until it starts vibrating!

Man survives crocodile attack during toilet break.

A CONSTRUCTION worker's been bitten by a crocodile during a toilet break in Malaysian Borneo but fought the huge reptile off and escaped with his life.

 

Pai reportedly punched the two-metre crocodile in the eye after it bit him just above his right buttock, and despite being in incredible pain and soaked in blood managed to summon help.

The attack happened early on Friday, when the 32-year-old decided to take his chances in a river in Sarawak state despite knowing it was infested with crocodiles.

The labourer, who works at a nearby construction site, had just finished relieving himself under a bridge when the animal bit him from behind.

"Fortune favoured me when the crocodile let go after I punched it in the eye," he was quoted as saying by Malay tabloid Harian Metro.

"After being freed from the jaws of the crocodile, I found extraordinary strength to run and call for help even though my waist was extremely painful."

Several newspapers ran pictures of Pai, who like many Indonesians goes by one name, lying on his stomach at the Sarawak General Hospital with bandages on his waist and hip area.

Crocodile attacks have been a constant problem in Malaysia, with several deaths reported in the past few years.

Moral of the story: Use a proper toilet and stop polluting the river!

Taylor 210CE guitar review

Recently I upgraded my guitar to a Taylor 210CE guitar. Prior before that I was playing a Takamine EG530C which has a laminated top, back and sides. I love the Takamine because of its versatile pickup but I eventually chose to let it go for a Taylor because of its distinctive “Taylor sound”.

Taylor guitars are one of the finest guitar in the higher range price tag which competes with CF Martin & Co, Gibson, Jean Larrivee and Takamine. Taylor Guitars are made in Mexico for the 100 and 200 series and while the higher end which are the 300 series onwards are made in USA. Notable players for Taylor guitars are Rascal Flatts, Christina Perri, Goo Goo Dolls, Jason Mraz, One Republic, Plain White T's, Richie Sambora, Rob Thomas, Rolling Stones, Switchfoot, Taylor Swift and Train, just to name a few.

Billed as the series that "redefines what a mid-price guitar can be", Taylor's 200 range seeks to bridge the gap between the 100 Series and the main USA product line.

In the case of the 210CE dreadnought this means the price tag is RM4,100 and the guitar comes with a hard bag.

The Taylor 210CE features a glossy solid Sitka spruce top, gorgeous Indian rosewood laminate back and sides, and a venetian cutaway for full fingerboard access. At this price tag, it is a disappointment that it features the laminated back and sides. The 210CE comes with a built-in Taylor ES-T under-saddle transducer pickup with individual elements for each string. It features an onboard preamp and the same active controls found on the full ES. Featuring a custom-voiced EQ and dynamic response, the system is powered by a 9-volt battery, with a battery life LED power indicator (which is lit when the battery is being used). The pickup also has a Phase switch for feedback control, which is located on the preamp board inside the soundhole.. The 210ce guitar has an extremely rich and versatile voice and delivers an experience of sight, sound and touch that's unmistakably Taylor.

The finish is uniformly tidy - Taylor is famed for the consistency of its production.

This is a comfortable player, with a not-too-deep feel to the profile that encourages flatpicking and fingers, and a generous cutaway that lets you fret chord fragments - not just single notes - at the top end. A great all-rounder.

It'd be short-sighted to categorically declare rosewood 'better' than sapele, but for guitarists who want their snap 'n' pop lead lines underpinned by the warmest of thumbed low notes, the combination of timbers offered by the 210CE means it deserves serious investigation.

Even when trying to build guitars for the less wealthy among us, it seems Taylor can't help but knock out instruments of the highest quality.

Coming with a price tag of RM4100, there's no doubt the 210CE is still a serious investment, but you're rewarded with some of the sweetest tones and best playability in this price bracket. If you are looking for a guitar, you will never go wrong with a Taylor.
