A 66-year-old man who thought he merely had an unusually tiny penis was shocked to find out from doctors that he was actually a woman.

The world-famous 54-foot-tall "Rubber Duck" that's been seen floating in bodies of water all around the globe has met an untimely, albeit temporary demise in the rough waves of Hong Kong's Victoria Harbour.

The Heritage Foundation has released its annual list of the world's freest economies and, wouldn't you know it, the Asia-Pacific region is number one. Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand are all on top while the world's largest economy, America's, barely cracks the top ten.

A wealthy property developer from Hong Kong has offered a "marriage bounty" of HK$500 million (~$65 million) to any man who manages to "woo" his lesbian daughter away from her wife.

Hong Kong's Narcotics Bureau seized 1,250 pounds of cocaine, worth, in their estimation, $77 million, setting a new world record (and they think they'll find more!). Eight people were arrested, including one American, five Mexicans and one Colombian.

A team of physicists has determined that we'll never, ever be able to visit bygone eras, because nothing can travel faster than the speed of light—just like Albert Einstein said. Guess you'll never get to tackle Gavrilo Princip and thwart World War I or make out with Clark Gable after all.

McDonald's locations in Hong Kong are now promoting in-house wedding ceremonies. Ronald McDonald can officiate, there's a special menu for guests, and even wedding cakes made out of either hamburgers or apple pies. That sounds friggin' delicious, no? [Photo via]

The 24 hour news cycle affects everyone differently, and horribly. A television reporter in Hong Kong has resigned after he was caught committing self-love on the top tier of a double decker bus. Former Asia Television journo Chiu Yu Kit admitted to the act in court, but explained that he was merely trying to "ease his stress" when an off-duty cop caught sight of him standing up on a seat facing the window and taking in the local color while taking care of himself.

Hey, stuff is still happening with that big Hong Kong Sex Scandal, according to various hazily substantiated postings across the Internet! When we last checked in on Edison Chen, the actor and star of the scandal, he had decided to take some time off to do charity work and recover from the fallout. Turns out that time off involved a trip to the US, a failed attempt to get his mob-connected girlfriend to marry him, and a short-lived stint in rehab for sex addiction. Police now suspect he may have leaked all those pictures himself [via Radar]. So many twists and turns! This is as good a time as any to toss out a few more of those scandalous, too-hot-for-the-Times pictures, which we have edited down to a respectable R-rating. Here's hoping Chen does some more stuff so we can use up the rest of these things!

Edison Chen, the famous actor and singer in Hong Kong who got embroiled in that big old sex scandal recently says he has decided to take some time off to do charity work and "heal myself." That being the standard crisis PR advice. Somebody stole hundreds and hundreds of sex pictures featuring Chen and assorted Hong Kong starlets, and it has been the splash of the century over there for the past few weeks. It doesn't help that the entire set of hundreds of photos has fallen into the hands of all types of media outlets. Like us! After the jump, four more (R-rated only) pictures, to keep you up to date. Any suggestions for what we should do with the rest of these things?

The Times enlightens the bourgeoisie this morning about the sexy sex scandal that's been rocking Hong Kong for the past couple of weeks. The players: Edison Chen, a movie star (who was in The Grudge 2, among other things); Gillian Chung, a teeny-bop pop star who's been in ads for Disneyland over there; Cecilia Cheung and Bobo Chan, two other singer/ acress stars; and several other lesser stars/ regular girls. Summary: Somehow Edison's collection of pictures of himself sexing up the girls was leaked onto the Internet, and now the country is going crazy, with the scandal dominating the celebrity media while the government arrests bloggers who post the pictures. It's the equivalent of a huge sex scandal involving Kelly Clarkson and Jimmy Fallon, or something. More importantly, we have some of the pictures, since the Times doesn't. Pics— edited down to an R rating, which was not easy— and servicey links to the uncensored versions for those of you who want to investigate this important journalistic matter further, after the jump.
