Chinese villagers risk life and limb to steal gas and carry it home in plastic bags

POVERTY isn't funny.

So let's just pretend these people actually hail from one of Shandong Province's more well-to-do villages and aren't really so desperate for gas that they'd risk life and limb to carry it home in a 6m long plastic bag.

Okay, that's not working. Let's just say the pictures are "amazing".

The village in question is Binzhou in China's east and the gas they're bagging up is usually reserved for running extraction machinery.

According to Chinasmack, the workers say the middle-aged woman in the pictures here "skillfully opened the valve to the gas and connected it to the bag she was carrying, the plastic bag quickly rose and grew to be a 6 meter long, 1 meter wide balloon".
