First Lesson In Stealing a Plane

OK, here’s the thing former flight student, if you’re going to steal a plane you might want to unchain it first, or you may look damn stupid revving , lurching and jerking on the tarmac going nowhere. Just saying.

Free Child Care For Chained Child

Quirky China News/Rex Features

Remember this little tyke chained and padlocked to a post on the streets of Beijing while his papa went off in search of work? No? Well half the world freaked. But it later emerged the father had no other option but to chain his two year old son Jingdan to the post because he had already lost his 4 year old daughter (fear abducted) in January. Poverty has a way of making people creative with options and for Chuanliu he had no other one. His wife is ill , he needs work and there is no one to take care of his kid. As for his missing daughter Jinghong, the family were too poor to even have a photo of her so police have little if anything to go on. Life sucks. OK, now since the story broke the president of the Aibei Kindergarten, Mr Pi, has kindly offered to personally pay for Jingdan to have three years free child care. All hail Mr Pi.
