Meet Nong Youhui who has cat-like blue eyes and can see clearly in the dark. We first heard about him in 2009 but now a video report by China’s CCTV has emerged online exploring the boy’s phenomenal ability. Youhui lives in Dahua, southern China and according to the story, medical tests conducted in complete darkness show he can read perfectly without any light and sees clearly during the day. Hard to verify – it is China after all – but we are intrigued.

Nong Youhui - Cat Eye Boy from China
Gay Mice by Chinese Scientists
Researchers from China have discovered that male mice who are either bred without serotonin or whose bodies just aren’t receptive to serotonin have zero interest in mating with female mice.
Known as the ‘happiness hormone,’ serotonin seems to function as a “mating call” for male mice. Those whose brains cannot process it, or those who don’t have the tryptophan hydroxylase 2 gene (which produces serotonin), therefore don’t get the desire to mate, or at least not with females.
What’s interesting is that when such mice are placed among both male and female mice, they are indifferent to both types. However, when a serotonin deprived male is left alone with another male, he’ll proceed to “mount the male and emit a mating call.
This sudden preference for other males can be reverted, however, by injecting serotonin into the mouse’s brain.
Note that this study is very inconclusive, in that it cannot be used to explain human sexuality.
“Any potential links between serotonin and human sexual preferences must be considered somewhat tenuous,” Professor Keith Kendrick said.
The results do show, however, that neurotransmitters play some sort of role in regard to sexual preference—or at least with animals.

It claims to be the world's first video-game-themed park, it cost 200 million yuan (about $30 million USD) and spread over 600,000 square meters. Pictures after the jump.

"Apple Store" in China Sells "iPad 2"
If you go to the official Apple website and look up its retail stores in China, you'll get four results: Sanlitun, Pudong, Xidan Joy City, and Hong Kong. However, if you're strolling down the streets of Kunming, the capital of Yunnan Province in China's remote southwest corner, you might think Apple forgot to list its fifth location.
An American living in Kunming discovered an entirely fake Apple retail store just a few blocks from her home. The store seemingly had all of the iconic elements: an interesting staircase, an unusual seating area upstairs, the staff was even wearing those famous blue shirts and name tags. However, upon a closer inspection, it was discovered that the stairs were poorly constructed, the paint didn't look professional, and the name tags had no actual names. The biggest giveaway might have been the words "Apple Store" written over the entryway -- Apple retail stores only display their glowing logo.
