Carlos Rodriguez, 31, set his mattress on fire at his home, according to local Miami police.
The 31-year-old appeared in court Tuesday under a $20,000 bond, the station reported. Rodriguez emerged onto the scene in a 2012 YouTube video explaining how he lost a portion of his head in a car accident while on drugs. “I was barred out on drugs and I was driving and I hit a pole. I flew out the front window and landed on my head,” he said, while he was happily smoking a blunt on camera.
An elderly man, believed to be a mystic in China, has a very strange way of telling the fortune of his clients. The unnamed Chinese clairvoyant is said to be able to tell a woman’s future by fondling her breasts.
A short footage of ‘Mr. Strange’ performing his unique fortune-telling techniques was recently uploaded and shared online. The video has since gone viral in Chinese social media and has accumulated hundreds of thousands of views, reported the Mirror.
Initially posted by a user called Xiao Yuwen on the Chinese video-sharing site Miaopai, the mysterious man is shown to be quite busy at his “craft,” cupping a client’s breasts with one hand while holding a pair of crutches on his other hand.
His stoic facial expression seems to indicate his high level of focus and concentration. The woman, while patiently awaiting the prediction, quietly rests her chin on her hand. Meanwhile, onlookers curiously watched as the master does his thing.
In China, fortune telling through palm reading, face reading, numerology, astrology and other forms of divination have been part of the traditional culture since ancient times and have persistently enjoyed mainstream acceptance even in modern times.
Strange as this may seem, reading a person’s personality through their breasts has been practiced in other cultures. In Spain, the character and personality of a woman is said to be determined by a practice called sternomancy, which involves keen observation of the bumps that exist from the breasts to the belly.
In Japan, a form of divination called “nyuurin uranai” also determines the personality of a person by the shape and color of his or her nipples.
Although his practice may have been inspired by such methods, the Chinese master’s boob-reading technique looked like a unique method that he himself developed.

Last month, a woman in suburban Atlanta made headlines after a video of her fighting off three armed burglars went viral online. Chen Fengzhu is a Chinese-American woman who runs a seafood market in Atlanta. She was sleeping at her home in Gwinnett County, Georgia when she was awoken by strange noises inside the house.
In the surveillance video, Chen can be seen grabbing a gun and firing at the unsuspecting burglars while calling 911.
“I didn’t have any choice so I had to take out the gun I’d hid there. Then I loaded my pistol and walked out of my bedroom. I shot at the burglars when I saw them. One of them fled quickly, and another one ran away from the front door. Then I shot again, the one inside my home also broke the glass on the back door and ran away,” Chen told CCTV.
After a brief exchange of gunfire, all the suspects fled the scene. However, she shot one of them in the torso and he died on the driveway after paramedics failed to resuscitate him.
“First I chose to call 911. I called on the phone while I took out the pistol. But my phone call couldn’t get through. So I had to open fire on them while calling 911,” Chen said. Chen will not be charged for her actions as it was a justifiable defense, according to Police
The baby showed signs of abuse and that the child had been stabbed more than a dozen times.
A Thai baby boy with 14 stab wounds was found buried in a field in
the Wangyai district of Khon Kaen province in Thailand in February this
year. 53-year-old Kachit Krongyut was shocked to discover a bloodied
baby buried face down as she dug the ground after hearing a faint crying
sound.
She told Bangkok coconuts: “At first, I thought someone had buried their
pet alive, but then I saw a foot. I tried to control myself and called
for help. The baby was buried with its face facing down.”
Her shocking discovery lead to the baby’s survival. According to Wangyai
hospital the baby showed signs of abuse and that the child had been
stabbed more than a dozen times.
Thankfully, the baby now appears to have made an almost complete
recovery and has been photographed smiling and playing while dressed in a
Buddhist robe.
In a society where teens are already sexually active and where
couples refuse to have family planning before engaging in sexual
activities, it is inevitable to have a high rate of unwanted
pregnancies. An unintended pregnancy is a pregnancy that is
mistimed, unplanned, or unwanted at the time of conception.
Because of this lingering problem in our society today, many children
are left on the streets to work for themselves—and sadly, many babies
are thrown away or killed for the mere reason that their parents cannot
raise them. Despite countless movements against abortion, there are
still people who continue doing it.
