That's one use for chopsticks

A man in Zhengzhou was caught stealing an iPhone from a woman bicyclist. He used only chopsticks to pull off this feat. He later turned himself in. Claimed he was doing this in order to support his 12 year-old child. Sad.

Yes, dogs wearing pantyhose is a thing in China

The original

The original

I started seeing Chinese friends in my WeChat stream last week posting photos of dogs in pantyhose (which included the above photo). Now an explanation of this strange meme from Kotaku:

According to Chinese site Sina, "bored" people on Weibo started the meme. Apparently, Weibo user Ulatang, who noted that the pets rolled their eyes after getting dressed in pantyhose, uploaded the first "dogs wearing pantyhose" pic (above). That image has been commented on over 16,000 times in China.
And, of course, many more pics from other folks followed.

 I will definitely not be putting children's pantyhose on my cats any time soon.
