Greetings fellow Bizarros:

Her first mistake was taking the python out of its cage. Often that is a person's last mistake as well, but this Madison, Wisconsin woman was luckier than she was smart.

Madison police spokesman Joel DeSpain said the 31-year-old woman was attending a book club meeting at another member's home and decided to take Annie, a 12-year-old ball python measuring about 4 feet long, out of its terrarium.

"She just wanted to hold her," DeSpain said. "She apparently had prior experience handling snakes and had no reason to believe she was putting herself in danger."

She was wrong.

The non-venomous snake latched onto the woman's face and refused to disengage until the owner was able to remove it.

Both the snake and the woman are doing well. Annie is back in her terrarium and the attending doctor said the woman's injuries will not leave any scars. Plus, now she has a hell of a story to tell at book club.

Bizarrely,
Lewis

*-- Woman buys two rats, soon has 71 --*
BOSTON - Animal rescuers in Massachusetts said a woman who bought two rats to save them from being snake food soon found herself with 71 rodents. The Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals said the woman bought the rats from a pet shop in Sandwich to save them from being food for a snake and she contacted the society about three months later when the number of rapidly breeding rats ballooned to 71, the Boston Herald reported Monday. "She realized she was in over her head, and she drove to Boston," MSPCA spokesman Rob Halpin said. Halpin said the incident took place only days after a Lawrence man brought in 94 hamsters that resulted from his adopting only two. The spokesman said the hamsters will likely have better luck finding new homes. "There are many more homes for hamsters than there are homes for rats. It is a smaller audience of enthusiasts for rats," Halpin said.

*-- Woman marries Seattle building --*
SEATTLE - An Occupy Seattle protester who held a ceremony to wed a 107-year-old building said she was protesting the gentrification of the neighborhood. Babylonia Aivaz said she donned a puffy dress and married the abandoned building at 10th and Union Sunday as a protest against gentrification in the area, Seattlepi.com reported Tuesday. However, gay-themed magazine Instinct took issue with Aivaz characterizing the wedding as a "gay marriage." "Okay, we gotta ask: Why is this like 'gay marriage' (as she likes to call it)? Because, we'll marry horses and dogs and oxen next? Why didn't she take her loony idea about marrying a building and just call it marriage?" the magazine's editors wrote.

There are scenarios that suggest everything in "climate science". Go look at the IPCC documents. Nothing matches. The Climate science sites are worse: Want to prove the temperature went down in the 70s? No problem it was aerosols. Want to believe it didn't? No problem we have graphs that prove that to. "Climate science" can *prove anything*. -John
[It is very true that the global ecosystem is so complicated that accurate predictions cannot be made. But when you don't have a PhD in meteorology or climatology you have to use your brain, like I do. And it seems to me that humankind cannot spend 100 years dumping industrial poisons into the environment without some kind of consequence.]

Lewis...Of course they eat elephant wangs in Thailand... what else would they serve in Bangkok? -BB

I'm and electrical contractor, and about 15 years ago I did work on at least 10 elementary schools that had 'quiet' rooms. They were pretty much a rubber room that they could put the kid in, let him/her scream, kick, hit whatever until their little spell of anger was done. It worked great, the teachers liked it, the kids hated it, and the parents probably never new about it. Everybody thought it was working great, except for the fire department. That's were my work was, in case a fire broke out, the lock would open to let the unruly youth out. You're probably wondering where this satanic place is, where they torture and imprison the kids for their own good. Naples, Fl...one or the richest cities in the US.
[I watched a video recently which pointed out that schools are becoming more and more like prisons. The point of the video was that there is a conscious effort to do this by the establishment in order to 'train' children to accept a police state. Whether or not there is a conspiracy to do this is open for debate, but the similarities are obvious and undeniable.]

Lewis, If the parents do not like the "scream rooms" how about the parents discipline the little bastards at home. - Shelley

Hopefully elephant products will become so popular that elephants can be raised and harvested like chickens and beef. Poaching wild elephants wouldn't be profitable that way.
[An interesting idea, after all ostriches, llamas, alligators and other unusual animals are raised for consumption, but it might not be practical. A cow will eat 30 or 40 pounds a day. Imagine what it would cost to raise a herd of elephants!]
