clendr...er, I mean Black Pudding
has just reminded me of a story I heard the other day. A colleague of mine was backpacking in China with his mate a good few years back. One day, in some part of the country which you've probably never heard of (I hadn't and I can't remember it now) they discovered that someone had nicked their rucksacks.

They went to the local police and explained their predicament. They ended up being most impressed by the efficiency of the justice system, because only four hours later not only had their rucksacks and contents been found and returned to them, but the perpetrators had been executed!

(That's the story as I was told it. I don't know how true it is!)
