Via National Geographic:

Speeding from the scene of the crime, a Chinese boy tows a floating plastic bag of stolen natural gas last week. Flouting a government ban, farmers around the central Chinese town of Pucheng frequently filch gas from the local oil field.

Can you imagine if you shot a bottle rocket at that poor kid? There would only be a pair of charred sandals left.

Looks like some kind of funky morph between a Chinese villager and a queen termite.

Basically, he's peddling down the road with a big bag of farts...

That is funny as hell. How do they use it? Light the end and hope it doesn't go up all at once? Squeeze one end with the other end around a gas bottle?

I'd think you taped one end to a pipe leading to your stove, and pushed on the other end while your wife cooks dinner...
