Stupid kid stomps and kills 10 foot snake

Note this snake that this moron kid killed wasn't in the wild, but was rather a man's "pet" who he showed off at schools, festivals and libraries. He said that a boy explained that he didn't like snakes and then raised his stupid little foot and smashed the snake's head, thus killing the poor thing. The owner then said a man, seemingly the kid's dad, came out and told him that "this is why I don't take you places" and left without apologizing or offering to pay the hefty amount that the snake probably cost him....

A pair of bears eat a naked fool alive...

A naked man, probably drunk, ran into a bear cage at a zoo and was eaten alive by the two bears that were containted in there. They found his half-eaten body in the bear's feeding corner. While this should be sad, I just can't help but laugh, not at how stupid this man was but what the zoo director said regarding the event -

"There's a good chance he was drunk or drugged. Only an idiot would jump into the bear cage."

Well said, mr. zoo director.

Youtube video of the day - Eddie and the Hagfish

The Hagfish is quite an interesting creature who goes through the insides of it's dinner, which often time might be alive. They apparently will go through the mouth, anus, or any other entry, and will then eat their insides. Pretty interesting!

Snail venom

"In 2004, the FDA approved the cone snail venom ziconotide (Prialt) for the treatment of chronic pain. It is only used for severe cases because it must be injected directly into the spinal column. This month, researchers from the University of Utah have reported the discovery of a new snail venom with a completely different amino acid sequence. Because it very selectively attaches to and blocks nerve signals by binding to a particular type of acetylcholine receptor without causing any collateral damage, the newly discovered venom could also become a fantastic medical tool." - Article on Slashdot
