A flying pig caused a major blackout in China. On January 26, 2024 in Tongjiang county, Sichuan province, a farmer used his drone to transport his pig to a slaughterhouse. However, it got tangled in overhead power lines, causing a ten-hour-long electrical blackout to the entire village. Apparently, transporting livestock by drone is a common practice in rural areas.

The number 48" is considered lucky in Chinese culture. Which is why a driver named Liu paid $145,705 to get a license plate on his $4,370 car that read"88888" for good luck... only to be pulled over by police exactly 8 times on his first day on the road, because cops thought it must be fake.

Satoru Nomura was the first Yakuza boss sentenced to death in Japan, and (partly) because of a penis enlargement surgery. While recovering from the procedure, he felt disrespected by one of the nurses. So he ordered an attack on her. However, the investigation into this attack led to charges added to several other serious crimes, including murder. He got the death penalty in 2021, later commuted to life in prison.
