Two robbers picked the wrong bar to rob late last month in Australia. Inside the bar was a biker gang. One of the robbers ended up hog-tied and in a hospital.
The men wore ski masks and had machetes. They told the people in the bar to lie down as they tried to rob the cash register.
In another room of the bar, about 50 members of the Southern Cross Cruiser Club were having a club meeting. The bikers jumped up to stop the robbers.

One robber escaped by jumping over a balcony. The other tried to run through a service entrance, said the club's president, Jester.
"We caught him at the fence, crash-tackled him and hog-tied him to the ground," Jester said.
Police captured the other suspect nearby.
"I don't think he did his homework very well," Jester said of the ringleader. "He picked the wrong night." (STAFF WRITER, WITH AP)
上個月底，澳洲發生了兩名搶匪搶錯酒吧的烏龍事件。當時，酒吧裡正好有一支重型摩托車隊在聚會，其中一名搶匪淪落到雙腿被綑綁，受傷送醫的下場。
這兩名搶匪頭戴滑雪面罩、手持大砍刀闖進酒吧，命令所有人趴下，試圖搶劫收銀機裡的現金。
當時酒吧裡的另一個房間，大約有五十名「南十字軍巡遊者俱樂部」重機車隊的車友在聚會，這些車友撲上去制止搶匪。
酒吧負責人杰斯特表示，其中一名搶匪從陽台跳出逃逸，另一名則試圖衝過便門逃跑。
杰斯特說，「我們在圍牆旁逮到了搶匪，並將他的雙腿綁起來，壓制地上。」
警方在附近逮捕到另一名搶匪。
「我覺得他（搶犯首腦）事前沒有做好功課，」杰斯特說：「他挑錯晚上了。」（美聯社�翻譯：楊鴻泰）
South Korea’s famous kimchi is falling victim to climate change, with scientists, farmers and manufacturers saying the quality and quantity of the napa cabbage that is pickled to make the ubiquitous dish is suffering due to rising temperatures. Napa cabbage thrives in cooler climates, and is usually planted in mountainous regions where temperatures during the key growing summer season once rarely rose above 25 degrees Celsius. Studies show that warmer weather brought about by climate change is now threatening these crops, so much so that South Korea might not be able to grow napa cabbage one day due to the intensifying heat. “We
It’s widely recognized that there are far more right-handed people than left-handed people in the world. Being right-handed simply means preferring to use one’s right hand for tasks that involve only one hand, such as writing and eating. But have you ever wondered about the possible reasons behind the global dominance of the right hand over the left? As with many complex biological questions, multiple factors appear to be at play. First, one reason seems to be genetics. __1__ Therefore, the global dominance of right-handedness is something that has been passed down through many generations of humans. Next,
On blazing hot summer days, fresh ingredients and cool refreshments straight from a refrigerator feel like nothing short of a miracle. However, chilled foods didn’t begin with modern refrigerators. In fact, the origin of refrigeration precedes the invention of this now-indispensable appliance by centuries. Initially, the quest for refrigeration was motivated more by the desire to cool beverages than to preserve food. The ancient Greeks and Romans, for instance, used snow stored in insulated pits to chill wine. Around the fourth century BC, the Persians made a significant stride in refrigeration techniques when they devised the yakhchal. Fashioned from

Historically, items that require physical manipulation have been designed for right-handed use. For example, tools like scissors and musical instruments are often constructed with right-handers in mind, making it difficult for left-handers to use them. __4__ While these factors offer some explanation, they remain speculative. The precise reasons for the global prevalence of right-handed people continue to be debated. Nevertheless, left-handedness will remain a phenomenon of great curiosity among scientists and researchers for many years to come. 最後，文化影響也在人們偏好哪一隻手上扮演一角。歷史上，需要用到肢體操作的物品都被設計來供右手使用。舉例來說，像是剪刀、樂器等工具常常就是考慮到右撇子而打造的，造成左撇子難以使用這些工具。因此，許多天生就是左撇子的人可能就必須透過學習使用右手來適應。 雖然這些因素都提供了一些解釋，但它們仍是推測而已。全球右撇子如此普及，確切的原因仍持續被爭論著。不過，在未來的許多年裡，左撇子依然會是科學家和研究人員相當好奇的一個現象。 What Did You Learn?
