Around The Weird: Bizarre News Briefs

Beijing, China (WFN) -- China has come up with a new car washing technique that sounds like it's all wet. According to the Xinhua news agency, the method only uses 0.3 liters of water, about 1,000 times less water than the traditional bucket method. The car is slightly "moisturized" with water and then sprayed with a cleaning solution. The wash job is currently being tested in Guangzhou, and some car owners worry the chemical wash will ruin their paint job.

ROSWELL, Ga. -- So much for the computer age spawning the "paperless office." According to a survey by the Neenah paper company, 89 percent of folks have had a paper cut in the last year and 42 percent have had one in the last month. Only two percent have never suffered the agony of a paper cut.

BRASILIA, Brazil -- A Brazilian man was released from prison early after being elected mayor of his hometown. According to "Reuters," Anterio Manica won in a landslide victory and is expected to take office Jan. 1 while officials investigate accusations that he ordered the killings of four government agents inspecting claims of slavery on his brother's black bean plantation.

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. -- Bakersfield, California, has been named the cough and cold capital of the U.S. According to the Thin Strips Cough and Cold Capital Index, Bakersfield out-phlegmmed the likes of Fort Wayne, Indiana, and Richmond, Virginia, by consuming 35 percent more cough and cold medicines than the average household over the last year. The fewest snifflers and hackers are in Springfield, Missouri, where residents bought only half the national average.
