It's always the mom's boyfriend

A two-year-old was strangled by her mom's boyfriend's albino python. You know, once it starts biting your kid on the head, maybe it's time to trade the python for a kitten?

Creature in the North Carolina Sewer

Viral video explained:
They are clumps of annelid worms, almost certainly tubificids (Naididae, probably genus Tubifex). Normally these occur in soil and sediment, especially at the bottom and edges of polluted streams. In the photo they have apparently entered a pipeline somehow, and in the absence of soil they are coiling around each other. The contractions you see are the result of a single worm contracting and then stimulating all the others to do the same almost simultaneously, so it looks like a single big muscle contracting.
(The link above is tame, push play at your own risk!)

Pax Britannica

"The British government has made certain places in the country areas where, if you take pictures of them, the police can stop and search you even without probable cause. There's just one little problem: They won't tell anyone what they can and can't photograph."

Puppy Survives Dead Goldfish Treatment

This article talks about a puppy who got flushed down the loo by a 4 year old boy.

There is a sewer-cam picture of the puppy in question. I guess it's amazing the puppy lived, but what I can't figure out is why the journalists would print the blatant lies being told here.
