All the news, that isn't

Pieces of the news that make me look twice, for whatever reason:
“Dac Nong General hospital completed successfully a risky heart surgery.
Doctors at the hospital removed a 2.7 cm knife from the heart of Dang Nguyen
Hoang Minh, 26, a resident of Quang Tan Commune…”
No mention of how or why there just happened to be a knife in this guys heart.
“Vietnamese flowers exported to Russia”

Dalat, in the south central highlands of Vietnam, the only place I’ve been here that had lakes, hills, evergreen trees, and COOL WEATHER, also is famous for vegetables and flowers, and is exporting roses, lilies, tulips, crysanthemums and carnations to Russia.

And new words always pop up here and there:
"Vietnamese and African educationists sat together in HaNoi yesterday to share
their respective experiences in educational reform and development."
