Snake.
Story:
According to the Global Times, a woman in northern China had to be rushed to the hospital after a snake preserved for three months in a bottle of rice wine came alive and bit her hand.
The woman, surnamed Liu, from Shuangcheng, was trying to fill the bottle to the top when the snake jumped out.
Throughout China and some parts of Hong Kong, people drink snake wine for its medicinal traits. It is used to treat a wide range of ailments ranging from sexual performance to overall health. Liu bought the visually-awe inspiring drink in an attempt to cure her rheumatism.
She has since received treatment for the bite at a local hospital and is expected to make a full recovery.

Grandfather Models for Teens’ DressAlthough Liu’s granddaughter Ms Lv posted the photos as a joke, they have now gone global – and her store has seen sales increase fivefold Garnd fathet Models Teens dress.
A Chinese grandfather has won worldwide fame after photographs of him modelling women’s clothing were posted to the internet.
Seventy two year old Liu Xianping posed in outfits from his granddaughter’s fashion store Yuekou for a joke.
But when Ms Lv posted the snaps online, the two were surprised to find the photos go viral almost overnight.
What began as a lighthearted joke fast became a successful publicity campaign after the images went global – and Ms Lv saw sales soar.
Elegant: Liu Xianping’s slim legs have become the envy of women everywhere – and he shows them off to their best in over-the-knee socks and mini skirts
Posing in a sequence of outfits, his long slim legs and slender physique shows Yuekou’s clothing off to its full advantage – and has earned the store infinite more hits than if a regular model had been used.
Indeed, since Liu’s photographs, posted on Tmall, one of China’s leading retail sites, went viral, sales at Yuekou have increased fivefold.
Liu’s legs are reportedly the envy of women all over China – even the world. ‘He has such a good figure,’ offbeatchina.com reported one fan as saying. ‘He has such a good figure, especially those legs!’ and another likening the elderly gent to Karl Lagerfeld.
For his part, Liu told China Newsweek that he is glad to model for the store – and happy to be able to help his family.
‘Why unacceptable for someone like me to wear women’s clothes? Modelling for the store is helping my granddaughter and I have nothing to lose,’ he said.

People of one’s country/state are normally proud the achievement of one who they consider their own and congratulate.
He could not understand that.
Now refusing to meet Modi because of Modi’s controversial image due to Godhrariots, is plain lack of manners and outright rude.
If he objects to Modi’s views/behavior, this is not the place and time.
People tend to develop arrogance and self righteousness once they believe they have mastered what they think they have.

Sources told TOI that efforts had been made to get Venki to meet Modi in Gandhinagar or Vadodara, but he is said to have refused apparently because of the CM’s tarnished image due to the 2002 riots.
According to sources, “Efforts had been made by the state education department and the chief minister’s office to arrange a meeting between the two, for 30 minutes or so, but it did not materialize because Venki did not agree.”
Linus Pauling is the prototypical example. A brilliant chemist who won two Nobel Prizes, one for chemistry and the Nobel Peace Prize, in his later years Pauling became convinced that high dose vitamin C was a highly effective treatment for cancer and the common cold and, expanding upon that, came to believe in the quackery that is orthomolecular medicine. As a result, Pauling’s reputation was tainted for all time, and he became known more for his crankery than his successes. Since his death, Pauling’s successors have continued to chase his dream with minimal success because even massive doses of vitamin C have little or no effect on cancer and may even interfere with some chemotherapy regimens.
