In Ningbo recently, a man on a bike sped through a red light and paid the price. Despite how bad this looks -- flipping onto the top of the car, then landing on the side of his head -- he's not only not dead, but not too seriously injured.

Don’t know how or why that Mao portrait and CCP symbol are there. But good on this barber. He probably could’ve used this client to break the monotony of giving crew cuts. [tt.mop, via Alicia]

I'm not even going to try to explain this one. In Linyi, Shandong province, a kid was photographed crossing the road in a pair of bumper cars somehow (and for some reason) linked together.
