A Snake In A What?

Singapore certainly gets the weird news headlines award for the day:

Singapore Seen: Bathroom horror: Python slithers out of toilet to bite woman at Sims Ave

A woman was sent to the hospital after she was was bitten by a python while using the toilet.

The python had slithered out of a toiletbowl at a unit at Block 826 Sims Avenue last Thursday evening and bit Madam Noraslinda Asat on her thigh.

The housewife, 34, told Shin Min Daily News that she heard a bubbling sound from the toiletbowl while she was seated on it.

Before she could react, she felt a sharp pain in her thigh.

Madam Noraslinda said, "When I looked down, I saw a snake!"

She said the snake was 1.8 metres in length and its teeth were clamped down tightly on her right thigh.

Apparently there was something badly lost in translation when they told the maintenance guy to snake the plumbing.....
