Snake Bites Sleeping Teen In California Apartment

Forgetting pets in your house after moving out to another house is one thing, but forgetting a pet snake that then decided to live in the heater on the wall for two months before biting the new tenant is certainly another.

 That story was a little bit too true for a California teen who was bitten in his apartment by the previous owner's snake. Although the snake wasn't poisonous, I'm sure it was pretty painful for the poor unsuspecting guy.

Wow! How all that chicken fit in her tiny body will probably remain a mystery to me.

95 Snakes Found in Baggage at Kuala Lumpur Airport

 Imagine walking in an airport, putting your luggage into the security check, and then hear a tearing sound as the baggage goes inside. As it comes out the other side, you find 95 snakes, put in a bag by the man before you.


Image from: animals.howstuffworks.com


 That story was a little bit too true in Malaysia's KL airport, with the man in charge found out to have tried to smuggle 95 snakes, and a turtle. Good thing that bag didn't burst in the airplane's cargo area, would suck to be whoever takes the luggage out.

Teen Accidentally Texts Sheriff To Buy Pot

 It's one thing to use a phone to deal drugs, but it's a completely different story when you accidentally contact a sheriff for that same purpose.


Image from: netzwelt.de

A (very) unlucky guy from Montana accidentally wrote the wrong number when sending a text message reading "Hey Dawg, do you have a $20 I can buy right now?" to his dealer for some pot... that wrong number turned out to be the sheriff's.

How unlucky do you have to be??

French Spiderman Arrested After Climbing 57 Stories

If Spiderman was real, he'd be proud of this. Alain Robert, aka the French "Spiderman", has crawled his way up structures in cities from Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, to New York, using just his bare hands and a bag of chalk dust. His last attempt in Sydney where he climbed 57 stories ended in a total buzzkill for the poor guy.

 Police arrested the man and "will be prosecuting him to the full extent of the law."

 I honestly think they should be more lenient with the guy, I mean you don't find people who can do that everyday. However, I also think a system should be made where special permission can be granted to him at special times. Businesses would love this too. ;)

Man Shot In Head Felt Bullet Only 4 Years Later

It's one thing to survive a shot in the head, but it's a completely different thing to only notice it four years later! Let alone leave it in his head for an extra year amounting up to five years with a bullet lodged in his head!

Image from: www.cbsnews.com

A Polish-born man in Germany was partying one New Year's eve, when he felt something hit the back of his head. He dismissed it as fireworks and later forgot about it. Fast-forward four years later he started getting headaches. Then after another year he finally went to a doctor and was diagnosed with having a .22 caliber bullet lodged in the back of his head!

Chinese Face Epic 9-Day, 62-Mile Traffic Jam

Yeah, it sucks to be in a traffic jam. Sometimes your car wouldn't move for hours, which is especially bad in summer.

Imagine, though, you were stuck in a 9 day traffic jam that extended for 62 miles. That was reality for the Chinese capital as the traffic jam extended from Beijing to the Inner Mongolia autonomous region. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to be one of them.

Scientists Say the Moon is Shrinking

 I know Hot Jupiters tend to shrink as a result of their proximity to their stars (nerdy much?), but our moon? A solid, rocky planetary surface shrinking?



Image from: aolnews.com


However, unlike Hot Jupiters, the moon is shrinking because of internal cooling; sort of like a hot air balloon after losing its source of heat I would imagine.

Remember Paul the Octopus? Meet Dirty Harry, a Crocodile!
