Weird News: Chinese hoarding salt and soy sauce in response to Japan nuclear crisis

Kikkoman Soy Sauce, 64-Ounce Bottle (Pack of 1)

Salt prices are up 1,000 percent and now there is a run on soy sauce in China.
A rush on salt began in coastal cities in China on March 16. As of March 18, the trend has spread to many provinces in China, including regions that are not on the eastern seaboard. Soy sauce has also been sought after as a salt replacement. Many people think that the ocean is being contaminated due to the nuclear crisis in Japan, and that it is only a matter of time before salt becomes hazardous.

Mr. Li from Shaanxi Province told The Epoch Times that he didn't hear about the salt rush until March 17. Everyone was rushing to buy salt. He said his friends had called and said that salt prices in Baoji City had surged 1,000 percent, and were still going up.

Weird News: Man killed at cock fight by rooster

Cockfight

A California man bled to death after being stabbed in the leg by a rooster at a cock fight. The fighting "spur" attached to the rooster's leg severed a major artery.
LAMONT, Calif. -- The tables were turned at a California cockfight after a man was fatally stabbed in the leg by a sharp blade attached to one of the fighting birds, The Bakersfield Californian reported.

Jose Luis Ochoa, 35, was taken to a local hospital shortly after police responded to a reported cockfight last Sunday in Lamont, Calif., a town nine miles south-southeast of Bakersfield.

An autopsy revealed Wednesday that Ochoa's death was accidental and caused by an injury to his right calf.

"I have never seen this type of incident," Sgt. Martin King, a 24-year veteran, told the paper. But he noted that it was not surprising that Ochoa died since one of his major arteries had likely been severed. "People have been known to bleed out from those injuries if medical attention is not obtained immediately."
