I'm going to fess up that I don't really have any proof that this video is recent, or that it happened in China. The title reads "[Car Accident] It Fall to River in China," though the TV station isn't any that I recognize. Do we believe it? Read more »
Kim Jong-il, North Korea’s second most popular and important leader of all time, left final instructions for his son in the form of 44 orders — probably bullet-pointed, because he’s an asshole — that were supposedly delivered on October 8, 2011, two months and nine days before his death.

Whatever superlatives you want to append to that statement, feel free to do so, but I'll just write this again: 53 points, 13 rebounds. This is where the focus should be: a remarkable individual effort from the world's best female basketball player on Chinese professional basketball's biggest stage. Imagine if LeBron James went for 53 in the NBA finals (or CBA finals, to complete the analogy). You'd want 800 words about that, right? Moore's Shanxi beat Zhejiang 96-92 to grab a 1-0 lead in the best-of-five series. Read more »
