A pilot discovered snakes on a plane for real.
A Mississippi man was flying when he realized he was sharing a flight with a grey rat snake.
Doctor Ed Garuth says, “I’ve been flying a plane for 50 years and over 14,000 hours, and this is the most unusual in-flight emergency I’ve encountered. I guess it wasn’t exactly an emergency, but I did almost hurt myself when I saw it.”
Snake expert Joey Pradillo, called to remove the reptile from the plane after Carruth had made his landing, said that it’s not uncommon for snakes to live in hangers, which explains how this one ended up on board. ...

NEW YORK (AP) - Jeshuah Fuller’s parents expected him to be born with extra fingers. The extra toes, though, were a surprise.
Jeshuah, weighing 7 pounds, was born in Brooklyn on Tuesday with 12 fingers and 12 toes. His rare condition, called polydactylism, is usually genetic.
His dad was born with an extra finger on his left hand. His mom, Quana Morris, said she’d had an ultrasound image taken during her pregnancy and knew the baby would have extra fingers.
“We were counting them on the sonogram,” she told the Daily News.
She didn’t know he would have 12 toes, she said. He’ll have all the extra digits surgically removed in a couple of weeks, his mom said. ...

Burglar Can’t Escape After Houdini Heist
2007-08-29 22:42:14
SCRANTON, Pa. (AP) - A man accused of breaking into the Houdini Museum was unable to escape from police.
Officers said they apprehended the man about 2:30 a.m. Tuesday, based on descriptions by three witnesses of two men seen fleeing from the museum. One witness told police he chased the men for several blocks. One man remained at large.
Charles Watkins, 25, of Scranton, was charged with a felony count of attempted burglary and misdemeanor charges of criminal trespass and loitering.
Watkins was arraigned before District Judge Thomas J. Golden and lodged in the Lackawanna County Prison in lieu of $5,000 bail. It was not immediately known if he had an attorney.
“He’s going to need more than Houdini to escape from this problem,” said Dorothy Dietrich, museum co-founder and director.
Dietrich said nothing was taken or badly damaged in the break-in, and the museum devoted to early 20th century escape artist Harry Houdini was open on Tuesday.

South Africa’s health department said Tuesday it has recalled 20 million defective condoms approved by an official accused of taking bribes from a manufacturer.

There are up to 1,000 AIDS-related deaths in South Africa every day and free condom distribution is a crucial part of the government’s efforts to combat the spread of the epidemic.
“An official of the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS), has put millions of people at risk by illegally passing millions of condoms, which had not met the quality assurance requirements,” said health department spokesman Sibani Mngadi.
