Look Out, Exploding Fruit!

Chemicals have caused thousands of oversized watermelons in China to burst open.

China is facing an explosive problem. Thousands of watermelons pumped with a chemical that quickens and increases growth have burst open, affecting 115 acres of farmland.

The chemical was used late in the season, which made the melons more likely to burst. Heavy rains only added to the problem. Soon, 20 farmers near Danyang City, China, found their fields littered with exploded melons.

“On May 7, I came out and counted 80 [burst watermelons], but by the afternoon it was 100,” farmer Liu Mingsuo told China Central Television. “Two days later, I didn't bother to count anymore.” The ruined crops were fed to fish and pigs.

Chinese farmers often double as migrant workers, or workers who travel to other farms to help harvest crops. They sometimes do not have enough time to work on their own farms. So they rely on special chemicals that make fruits and vegetables grow faster and larger.

Blind boy uses his ears to 'see'

Lucas uses the same echolocation technique that bats and dolphins use

A seven-year-old blind boy has been taught to "see" using his ears.

Lucas Murray from Poole in Dorset has learned to use echoes to picture the world around him - similar to sonar techniques used by bats and dolphins.

He clicks his tongue on the roof of his mouth and from the sound that returns he tries to work out the distance, shape, density and position of objects.

The echolocation technique has helped Lucas, who was born blind, play basketball and rock climb.

He was taught the system by blind Californian Daniel Kish, 43, who founded the World Access for the Blind charity.

Lucas's parents Sarah and Iain saw Mr Kish on TV and asked him to visit.

Mr Kish said: "Lucas is one of the first in the UK to use this technique.

"He is able to click his tongue and determine where things are around him and what things are around him and he is able to travel comfortably without holding on to people.

"The click basically emanates a sound which bounces off the environment a bit like the flash of a camera."

German wins world best beard title at Norway contest

This is really an artistic beard!

He surely deserved the prize!

Mr Weisser said his beard reached his waist when it had not been styled

A German hairdresser has won the title of world's best beard at the World Beard and Moustache Championship in Trondheim, Norway.

Elmar Weisser, 47, beat 160 contestants to the prize with his elaborate facial hair sculpture of a moose.

It is the third time Mr Weisser has emerged as champion.

In 2005 he won with with a beard styled into the shape of Berlin's Brandenberg Gate, and in 2007 with a representation of London's Tower Bridge.

He said he had begun preparing his creation for the Trondheim event at 7am, with the help of his sister.

"When my beard isn't styled, it goes down to my waist. It is sort of folded up," he told the AFP news agency.

The World Beard and Moustache Championship has been running every two years since 1995 and its organisers say it is "the premier event in the international sport of bearding".

Contestants from all over the world compete in 14 categories, including natural goatee, sideburns freestyle, Hungarian moustache and imperial partial beard.
