HEBOH...DITEMUKAN CACING PANJANGNYA 2.5 METER
POLEWALI  Seekor ikan sidak yang tubuhnya berbentuk seperti belut ditemukan warga di pematang sawah, Kabupaten Polewali Mandar (Polman), Sulawesi Barat.

Selain berukuran sangat besar, ikan ini juga memiliki panjang tubuh berbeda dari ikan sidak biasanya. Umumnya ikan ini hanya berbobot 5 kilogram.

Ikan sidak ditemukan seorang warga, Suaib, di pematang sawah di Desa Bonne-Bonne, Kecamatan Mapilli, Polman.

Tubuhnya yang besar yakni memiliki berat 15 kilogram dan panjang hampir 1,5 meter, membuat ikan ini dikategorikan terbesar yang ditemukan warga.

Anehnya ikan yang biasa hidup di sungai-sungai besar ini ditemukan di sebuah kanal kecil di pematang sawah.

Suaib menemukan ikan ini saat anak-anak kecil berlarian di pematang sawah. Karena penasaran, dia langsung turun dan menangkap hewan.

Saat menangkap, tangan Suaib sempat terluka akibat gigitan sidak. Karena tubuhnya licin, dibutuhkan waktu 1 jam untuk melumpuhkan ikan raksasa tersebut. Jenis ikan ini umumnya berwarna kuning.

Sehari-hari sidak memakan ikan-ikan kecil dan telur ayam. Suaib mengaku akan menjual ikan tersebut jika ada yang berminat. Untuk sementara ikan raksasa ini disimpan di kolam di halaman rumah Suaib.

FOUR INJURED IN iPAD 2 FIGHT BEIJING APPLE STORE

Beijing. Four people were taken to hospital and a glass door smashed as a near-riot broke out at Beijing's top Apple Store in Beijing among crowds rushing to snap up the popular iPAD 2 tablet computer, state press said on Sunday.

Angry consumers began rushing the store on Saturday afternoon after a "foreign" Apple employee allegedly stepped into the crowd to push and beat people suspected of queue jumping, the Beijing News said.

After the employee retreated back into the store, a crowd of consumers smashed the glass front door and shoved security guards as they surged forward in anger over the alleged beatings, the report said.

Consumers have lined up for hours at Apple stores in Beijing and Shanghai since the iPad 2, the updated version of the tablet computer, went on sale in the world's biggest Internet market on Friday.

The store in Beijing's chic Sanlitun commercial district closed early Saturday because of the altercation, but according to a voice recording on the store's phone was open for business Sunday.

Apple officials were not immediately available for comment when telephoned by AFP.Police were investigating the incident and have interviewed four people hospitalised with injuries, the Beijing News said.

Lines for the popular iPad 2 have grown so long that people have begun selling their places in the queue, while a secondary market has also developed with consumers reselling their tablet computers for profit after leaving the store, the report said.

Late Saturday, the store posted a notice saying that queue jumping and the unauthorised sales of Apple products would not be tolerated, the paper said.
