Posted: 02 Oct 2014 12:58 AM PDT

'Happening Girls' is a new reality TV show in Japan, featuring a girl group that fans can date and potentially even marry. The band currently consists of four girls who always wear bikinis or swimsuits in public. Male fans interested in dating the girls can apply to the producers of the show and take part in X-Factor style auditions and interviews for the chance of winning a date.

The four bachelorettes who currently make up the band are: Manaka, 20, Saaya, 22, Kaori, 26, and Eri, 25. If one of them gets married and leaves the show, her place will be taken by a new band member. The show's producers are recruiting replacements under strict conditions – applicants must be between 17 and 30 years of age, living in Tokyo, and must have no objections to wearing bikinis in public at all times.

Veterinary Student Stitches ‘I Love You’ into the Skin of Dog He Operated on

Posted: 01 Oct 2014 11:55 PM PDT

In a bizarre display of love, a Polish veterinary student recently stitched the words 'I Love You' on to the skin of a dog that he operated on. The fourth year student at the University of Warmia and Mazury, in Olsztyn, then posted the image on to his girlfriend's Facebook wall, so she could admire his handiwork. The grisly picture was immediately criticized by the couple's friends and college mates for being grotesque and unethical.

The girlfriend, who is a member of the student council at the same university, defended the photograph: "What's so unethical about it? He learnt to sew in order to help and is just showing his skill."

Chinese Military Toy Enthusiast Builds His Own Functional Tank

Posted: 01 Oct 2014 11:40 PM PDT

Li Guojun is a farmer by profession, but his passion for military toys has pushed him to build a couple of life-size, fully functional tanks. Although he doesn't know much about military engineering and he doesn't even have access to the internet, he managed to build his own tanks by observing models that he purchased at a local toy shop. The two vehicles are 6 meters long, capable of a top speed of 12 miles per hour, and can tackle almost any kind of terrain.

"To be honest, it wasn't that difficult to do," said the humble farmer. "I simply needed to make the same parts that the model had, but much larger." Li did have a little help from a friend and fellow military tank enthusiast – they built the tanks together and they now spend their spare time driving the massive vehicles outside their village in Kangping County, in northeast China's Liaoning Province.
