Australian Pythons at it Again
A python in Brisbane thought he’d fine a tasty snack in the form of a cute kitten called Tuffy. However Tuffy’s owner had other ideas.
Ruth Buttler got bitten twice and broke her arm while punching the python but still managed to save the kitten. That has got to be good for life-long bragging rights.
If only Bella the Jack Russell Terrier had such a tough guardian.
Snakes Will be Snakes
An Australian family is devastated that their family pets have been keeping a neighbourhood python fat. First on the menu was the cat, later the guinea pig and finally the dog. At this point they are worried for their children. Safe to say that by the time the guinea pig was devoured, they should have made arrangements to protect Roofus.
While the tragedy of the pets living in rural Australia may have been foreseen, the fate of Glenda Liu’s Jack Russell Terrier, Bella, was somewhat more of a surprise. One day while walking her dog in the very urban River Valley area of Singapore, a 3.5m python managed to creep up on them and squeeze the life out of little Bella. The snake then managed to escape the police called to the scene and has managed to stay out of the press since.
In Malaysia, just north of Singapore, there have been reports of large pythons falling out of trees, stunning their human victims and then squeezing them to death though this may just be urban legend. Suspect pics have been circulating the net for years (with my assistance).
Fact Snack: First Amendment
Most Americans don’t know the freedoms provided by the First Amendment:
- speech,
- religion,
- press,
- assembly, and
- petition for redress of grievances
Now you do.
Note: Contrary to popular belief, the right to own a pet is not protected.
A New Look
The key to getting something done seems to be to have other more important things you are trying to avoid.
As such, due to a long list of projects I wanted to get done today, I now have a new blog template and my todo list remains unchanged.
I realised a while ago when I came across Frieze Magazine that what I really needed was a webzine look. I have such a variety of interests that I’m constantly setting up new blogs every time an idea grabs me.
Then today while surfing by Pixelita which was using Revolution News theme, I saw the light. Instead of creating a series of new blogs, I just needed a template with the flexibility to capture the the ebb and flow of each new obsession.
While I quite like Revolution, for now I’m going with a free theme: Structure.
