Chongqing police have detained three couples who had been robbing bus passengers after distracting them with displays of intimacy, the Chongqing Evening News reported.

>Solar system similar to ours found
科学家发现太阳系近亲 Astronomers have found a solar system similar to ours, the Christian Science Monitor reports. They have identified up to seven planets orbiting a Sun-like star, including a rocky planet about 1.5 times the size of the Earth. The star, labelled HD10180, is 127 light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Hydra, the water snake. The European Southern Observatory made the discovery recently with the help of a giant telescope on a mountaintop in Chile. There is growing evidence that planets like ours are commonplace in the galaxy, providing more and more potential locations for life to have developed.
《基督教科学箴言报》消息，天文学家近日发现了一个类似太阳系的星系，多达7颗行星环绕一个类似太阳的恒星，包括一颗表面崎岖、大小为地球1.5倍的行星。这颗名为HD10180的恒星天体，处于水蛇座的位置，距离我们127光年。位于欧洲南部观测台近日借助安装在智利山顶的巨型望远镜得出了这一发现。越来越多的证据表明行星在银河系中数量庞大，许多星体也许潜在会有生命存在。

>Alert on computer radiation
电脑辐射或致失明
From 2006 to 2008, more than 30,000 people lost their eyesight each year due to computer radiation, the China News Service reports. More than 63% of China's 420 million Chinese netizens suffer from deteriorating eyesight, cataracts, or blindness. Mark Bullimore, a nuclear expert from Ohio State University, claims that 100 million computers produce the same amount of radiation each day as the two atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. 中新网消息，2006至2008年间，全球每年有超过3万人因电脑辐射而失明。在4.2亿中国网民中，逾63%的人患有因电脑辐射所导致的视力下降、白内障、失明等眼疾。美国俄亥俄州立大学核子专家马克·布利莫尔曾论述说，1亿台电脑一天产生的辐射量相当于轰炸广岛和长崎的两颗原子弹所释放的辐射量的总和。

墨西哥佳丽加冕环球小姐(图)
Jimena Navarrete, a 22-year-old model from Mexico, was named Miss Universe in Las Vegas on Monday, extending Latin America’s domination of the pageant to three consecutive years, Reuters reported.

Navarrete is the second Mexican to take the crown, following Lupita Jones in 1991.

醉驾司机须参观停尸房
People caught drunk driving in Columbia and some other parts of the U.S. are being compelled to visit their hospitalized victims and watch traffic accident documentaries, in addition to fines and imprisonment, the Guangzhou Daily reported, citing foreign media. In California, repeat drunk drivers are even made to visit mortuaries to view mutilated corpses so as to impress on them the serious consequences of drunk driving.

>Shot in head, noticed 5 years later
男子中枪 5年后方发现
A Polish man living in Germany went about his business for five years without noticing he had been shot in the head, Reuters reports. Doctors found a 0.22 caliber bullet in his scalp after the 35-year-old went to hospital to have what he thought was a cyst removed. The man recalled having received a blow to the head at a New Year's party 'in 2004 or 2005,' but had forgotten about it because he was 'very drunk'. Police said that the bullet might have fallen and lodged in the man's head after a reveler fired into the air to celebrate New Year.
