NO snakes on a plane, but
certainly one snake on cocaine.
Authorities were shocked when
they were confronted by an
aggressive albino python who was
resting on a heat pad containing
200g of cocaine, whilst raiding a
drug house in Italy.
According to reports the snake
had been kept as a pseudo pet, to
scare addicts into paying up.
The python was also kept in a
state of constant hunger, to
encourage more aggressive
behaviour, and had a free run of
the drug den.
Calling in the big guns, authorities
managed to wrangle the snake
into an enclosure with the
temptation of a whole chicken.
The python has now found a
more suitable occupation as a
well fed occupant of a local zoo.
THE mould may affect asthmatics.
A possible candidate for the title
of Britain’s oldest home has been
unearthed around the Scarborough
region in northeastern England.
The 11,000 year old home predates
Stonehenge by a meagre
6000 years, and is thought to be
the home of nomadic hunters.
The team of archeologists from
the Universities of York and
Manchester, who discovered the
home, have estimated it was built
in 8500 BC, around the period
before Britain had broken off from
continental Europe.
Constructed from timber posts
with a thatched reed roof,
researchers also estimated the 3.5
metre wide hut would have been
continually inhabited for between
200-500 years.
A NEW Zealand man has been
arrested after he stole an
ambulance whilst paramedics
treated his friend.
According to reports the injured
man had fallen four metres over a
concrete wall and fractured both
his skull and vertebra in his spine.
Whilst ambos worked, his mate
jumped in their vehicle and drove
it 50m before a chasing
paramedic flagged him down.
It is though alcohol was a driving
force in the thief’s decision process.
