Snakes on a plane – the real version

by

Manila airport officials prevented what would have turned into a real life version of horror flick “Snakes on a Plane” this week when they stopped more than 130 reptiles, including poisonous cobras, from boarding a flight to Bangkok.

Reptiles such as dozens of lizards, wearing diapers to conceal the stench of their urine, and 60 snakes concealed in water bottles, were discovered on Tuesday morning inside two suitcases belonging to a Filipino woman, airport officials said.

While her luggage was being x-rayed, security officers noticed something moving and the discovery was made. Unfortunately, one of the nappy-clad lizards reportedly died due to heat.

Reptiles, amphibians and other exotic animals have become a popular delicacy and ornament in many parts of Asia. Due to the belief that they are effective aphrodisiacs and good-luck charms.

In similar news, last week, Manila airport authorities arrested a Filipino man trying to smuggle three live Siamese crocodiles from Cambodia.






Killer surprise parties

by

Did you know that throwing a surprise party for your beloved might be the death of him or her?

To quell a recent surge in party mortality, the U.S. Medical Birthday Council has released urgent guidelines for safe surprising. Medical Birthday Council? Uhm how much tax payer money goes into this council?

Here’s their guidelines:

“Hugs given after the surprise should be firm and rhythmic, to support heart action and prevent cardiac arrest,” said council chairman Lance Champion, M.D., Ph.D. – I can see some men out there taking advantage of this guideline.

“And for total confidence that a loved one will survive till his next surprise party, we urge cardiac catheterization throughout the festivities,” Dr. Champion added.

During this procedure, doctors penetrate the femoral artery in the honored guest’s groin, and open arterial blockages with a tiny balloon.

“Some patients request an animal shape, and most accomplished surgeons will be happy to oblige,” Dr. Champion said.

The council also recommends keeping candles away from the birthday boy’s oxygen tubes, and stripping stimulants, like caffeine and chocolate, from the menu.

“Or just throw your next party right at the hospital,” Dr. Champion said. “Show your loved one how intensively you care.”

Ok is this for real or is this a joke?

Bigfoot wants his walk of fame too

by

Bigfoot’s tracks have joined the hundreds of famous footprints outside the renowned Chinese Theater, in Los Angeles, CA. Blavin stated that “The tracks appeared right before dawn, in unattended cement that had been prepared for the vaudeville pioneer Art Sweeney.”

The nonagenarian vaudevillian played the theater on its opening night and had been waiting decades for a spot in the famous forecourt. However, Big foot stole his thunder in a manner of speaking.

Some city leaders contend that Bigfoot himself was long overdue for a monument at the theater.

“The creature has appeared in movies and television shows for over thirty years, and his tactics for avoiding photographers have been widely emulated by film stars’ publicists,” said producer Benji DeLaurenta. He’s even appeared in dubious home movies of adoring fans.

Nevertheless, theater managers want to remove the creature’s footprints at once.

“Bigfoot has only been represented by other actors,–rather than personally present–in feature films, and is therefore ineligible for a place in the forecourt,” Blavin said. Of greater concern to city officials is the possibility that Bigfoot now prowls the streets of Los Angeles–where the weird creature may prove even more difficult than usual to identify.

Well I want reports from any of my readers that live in L.A. Oh, photos too if you spot the big guy. Ok?
