Crispy little men …
Husband refused to cook so wife stabbed him
Beijing: A Chinese woman was charged with accidentally killing her husband with a sword after he refused to make her dinner, the Shanghai Daily said on Tuesday.
Police said Tang Xiaowan, 25, who has been practicing swordsmanship since she was young, often forced her husband of three years, Li Weidong, at swordpoint to carry out her demands.
On March 3, he refused to cook dinner because he was late for work.
Police said Tang picked up her sword and put it on Li’s chest and promptly slipped, stabbing Li by mistake. Li died in hospital from loss of blood.
Tang was arrested on Monday and charged with manslaughter.
I don’t know- she regularly forced her husband to do things at swordpoint, so I’m not sure she “slipped”. Odd story isn’t it? What do you think?

In Savannah, Ga., in March, police picked up Carlos Little, wandering around a housing complex with a head injury, which he said was from a street robbery, but they later learned from a witness that Little and another man had fought over who was the better-”endowed” (and that, in the showdown, Little proved littler). And in Mexico, according to an April Reuters dispatch, one distinct presidential campaign theme this year is how candidates explicitly tout their manliness; one TV ad acclaims Roberto Medrazo for having “big ones.”
Gender Confusion
Shellie White, 30, was apprehended in Roanoke Rapids, N.C., in March, two years after she fled from Arizona with her two children in a custody dispute with her ex-husband. For most of the two years, she had been living as a man (with a female partner), having convinced the kids, now ages 6 and 8, that she was actually their father.
Sharp Memory
In March, Matt Robison, 21, of Ottawa, Ill., said he felt “like I’ve done something memorable with my life” after sitting for a 14-hour session in which he received 1,016 skin piercings to eclipse the previous Guinness Book record.
It was a Blast
Adult-education teacher Robert Colla was hospitalized in Ventura, Calif., with severe burns and shrapnel wounds, and lost part of his right hand, when he tried to smash a bug with the paperweight on his desk. The “paperweight,” which Colla had found years ago, was a 40 mm artillery shell, which, unknown to Colla, was still live.
