Amazing Rock in Saudi Arabia!!!

Al-Hassa region is a village of SAUDI ARABIA, where a huge rock raises 11 cms from the ground level. It happens once in a year during the month of April and stays elevated for about 30 minutes.

 

The people of this village say that, 17 years ago, one Mujahid was shot dead behind this rock. He was hidden there. This encounter happened in the month of April 1989. You can see the fresh blood spot on the rock. Most surprisingly, when the rock rises from the ground, these spot of the blood become darker, fresher and wet.

Chinese Water Baby

A baby girl has become a professional swimmer in China where tickets for her debut performance have already performed.
Xiao Xingwa, of Qinghuangdao, Hebei province, has been swimming since the age of just four months and has been taught and trained by her grandparents.
The 21-month-old will give her first public performance at the Dongshan Sea resort next Wednesday.
Mr Wang, her grandfather, said: "Xingwa loves the water, and can do every kind of act. She feels so at home in the water that sometimes she even falls asleep in the pool."
The little girl is being cared for by her grandparents because her parents are both working in France.
As they live on the coast, he took her swimming in the sea nearly every day as he believes it is good for a child's development, reports Wuzhou Daily.
"I have had to quit now, since a lot of people were against my practice, saying I was abusing the child. One even called the police," he added.
"Then my daughter mailed me a home swimming pool set, which I set up in the sitting room and now she swims every day."

Chinese Eating a Fish That’s Still Alive

Animal rights campaigners have criticized the Chinese over their extreme eating habits after a video of diners eating a live fish became a hit on the internet. The video, in which a part-fried fish is shown breathing and wriggling on a plate as it is being slowly eaten alive in a restaurant, has been posted on the video-sharing website YouTube. In order to keep the fish alive chefs cook its body but wrap its head in a wet cloth to keep it breathing, before covering it in sauce and serving in on a plate. The YouTube video shows diners, who are laughing and joking, prodding the fish while it is still moving, before picking it apart with chopsticks.

Peta, the animal rights group, called the video, which had more than 120,000 views on YouTube in a week, "disgusting".

A spokesperson said: "Every honest person should be shocked when anyone mocks or abuses a helpless dying animal."

It is not the first time that the Chinese have been criticized for their extreme eating habits. They also claimed for offering monkey’s brains to eat.
