Toddler chews head off snake

“We rushed in and found the baby with a snake in his mouth, chewing it. It was really scary, just horrible,” the boy’s aunt, Yasmin Shahin, said.

A neighbour who had rushed to see what was going on yanked the half-dead reptile out of the boys mouth and killed it, she said.

“When he pulled it out, Imad started crying,” she said, describing the snake’s head as “very badly chewed” when it emerged from the boys mouth.

They immediately checked the child for any bite marks but found none, with physicians at Rambam hospital in Haifa confirming he was unharmed. read more…

Pictures of the day: 27 January 2012

A man appears to be standing in awe of the aurora borealis – on his own lonely planet. The clever piece of camera trickery was created by Swedish photographer Goran Strand. He took the original panoramic pic during a large solar eruption last week, near his home in Ostersund, Sweden. He says: “I took three separate images, to create a panoramic piece, which included my friend, who was out taking pics with me at the time. It was only when I put the photographs together I wondered what it would look like if I curved the picture round – and it looked just like a frozen planet. It captured exactly how I felt when I was out taking the photos – like the world was so little compared to the large sky.”

The $16, 000 mistake: Robber shoots himself in foot

Fail: Robber shoots himself in foot

A clumsy thief shoots himself in the foot while guarding the door of a bank during a robbery in a small Brazilian town.

HIS job was to guard the doors while his gang robbed a bank, but he instead gave the term 'shot himself in the foot' a whole new meaning.

As his friends saunter into a small bank in Parana, Brazil, CCTV footage shows the man in question suddenly drop to the ground.

Limping out of the building, it becomes clear that he has in fact shot himself in his right foot.

The man was arrested that night when he checked himself into hospital, but police are still searching for the rest of the gang who managed to escape with 30,000 reals ($16,000).

Boy takes father’s automobile after missing the bus

A 10-YEAR-OLD French boy has been apprehended by police after taking his father's automobile and trying to drive it to school when he missed the bus.

"I had my seatbelt on," the boy pleaded to police when they arrived at the scene.

Neither of the boys was injured during the crash.
