Upset over his wife seeking a divorce, a savage man in Pingdingshan, Henan Province, bit off the woman's nose in court in front of the judge, reports Dahe News.

Late last year, Teng Jianhui was taken to court by his wife who asked for a divorce. To vent his anger, Teng suddenly took out a knife and attempted to stab the woman without success.

His next movement was even more stunning - he caught the woman's nose with his mouth and bit it off and stamped up and down on it.

The woman was rushed to hospital immediately, but the man was only arrested on Monday.

Farmer's savings reduced to shredded pieces

A farmer in Nanjing of Jiangsu Province, who hid 20,000 yuan (US$2,400) in grain, did not expect the cash would get accidentally shredded.

And as Chinanews.com reports last week, it will take about two years before there is the possibility of him getting assistance from the bank.

The farmer has been told by a local bank that he has to piece and paste the notes back together before he can even think about exchanging them.

It then took the man and his family two days to remove more than 62,000 pieces of shredded money, all the size of rice grain, from the grain.

After 17 days, only two notes each with a face value of 50 yuan (US$6) each have been restored.
