6) Bonkers Boil Remedy
61-year-old Nie Yongbing in China was plagued by painful red boils. His doctor, who was a bit of a lateral thinker it seems, told him to unblock his body’s pathways — or meridians — by inflating balloons. Yongbing simply got down to business. His boils disappeared and as an added bonus he is absolutely amazing at blowing things up.
He can blow up tyre inner tubes with his nose whilst 8 people stand on them. This is not a skill that has a million uses, but he’s causing a bit of a stir in China’s south-west Sichuan province where he advertises his bakery with his inflatory skills.
It’s a pretty happy news story really and you don’t get many of them: his boils have cleared up, it hasn’t cost him any money, his bakery is doing well and literally everyone in China wants him to go camping with them.
