Sperm collecting machine: Chinese innovation at its best.....

I have no doubt that Chinese inventors will soon rule the world. Don't believe me? Some wonderful company in Jiangsu has apparently invented a sperm collecting machine. Great! With this machine, now sperm banks around the world no longer need to get donors to "do it yourself". The machine boasts of a cylinder pump which they say feels like a vajayjay inside. Like it tighter? Looser? Faster? Slower? All of that, and the height of the pump itself is adjustable. There's also a screen that can play you your favourite p@rn in a wide variety of file formats while the machine pumps the baby batter out of you. This machine is supposedly great for sufferers of premature ejaculation because it helps to desensitise the penis. Any PE patients out there? Get one from their Alibaba store http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/21...Collector.html and tell us if it works......

Not exactly sure where data are retrieved from but they mention the US embassy as well.

About a month ago Chinabiker posted this link and I've been following the AQI data in Dongguan a couple times per day ever since. Have a look at how they classify air quality.



So let's be optimistic and say that the data is not being tampered with and the monitoring stations are indicative of the surroundings where they are placed. I find it pretty scary that the best cities in China have far worse numbers than other Asian cities like Bangkok, Tokyo, or Kuala Lampur. It's pretty rare to see Chinese cities that aren't in the orange, red or purple range, yet most other cities in Asia rarely venture into the yellow.

There's a link on the AQI Info website for pollution masks from totobobo, and seeing as Dongguan was regularly in the orange range of pollution, I decided to give them a try. I wore the mask for the first and last 15 minutes of my bicycle ride to work/home, as that is where I pass through a little traffic. Not a lot of traffic, but usually a few cars and the occasional bus or blue cancer spreader truck go by as I begin or end my ride. This is what the air filter looked like after 3 rides. New filter on left, used filter on right.



That's after roughly 1.5 hours of use with pollution levels in the orange range (101-150). Pretty nasty....

I also wore the mask during 2 hours of motorcycling through heavy traffic, the results were worse. I tried it in my car when I drove from Dongguan to Guangzhou and back, again, the filters were pretty gross.

I'm just putting this out there as something to think about. If you ride a bicycle or motorcycle in China, you're not doing yourself any favours without protection. If a filter can pull that much crap out of the air after less than two hours in moderate pollution, think of how bad it is for extended periods in high pollution areas.

Cheers!
