This unusual lawsuit caught our attention in the Shanghai Daily:

·A random test conducted by the Shanghai Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision in the Jing'an District found that one in five water dispensing machines had bacteria levels above the allowable standard because most offices don't clean their water machines regularly.

·A pair of siblings have been jailed for extorting 57,500 yuan (US$8,099) from a foreigner after offering sex services to him through a prostitute.

·A driver of a boat transporting sand was killed two days ago on Shanghai's Suzhou Creek when his boat collided into a bridge
