Urinating man unearths artifact

A man from Pixian county in Sichuan province unearthed a small ceramic tomb figure from the Song Dynasty (960-1279) when he was urinating on mounds, Chengdu Business Daily reported on Sunday.

The man, whose name was given as Xu, was driving home on Thursday afternoon when he stopped to urinate near the former site of a hospital.

His urine washed away the dirt that was covering part of the figure, which lay near the surface.
