Snake with a Foot Discovered in China


A snake measuring sixteen inches long has been discovered in China by Dean Qiongxiu, making its grand entrance by clinging to the bathroom wall with a clawed talon.

Unfortunately, its life was cut short when she beat it to death with a shoe as it attempted to defy evolution and scurry across the wall using its single foot. Preserving the specimen in alcohol, it was turned over to the Department of Life Sciences at West Normal University in Nanchang.

According to resident snake expert Long Shuai, the cause of the foot remains unknown, though an autopsy may reveal why. This biological anomaly is in a way similar to the growth of an extra head, which shares similarities in the way humans develop into conjoined twins.



Unlike two-headed snakes, however, human conjoined twins don’t often attack each other. A snake with two heads has little chance of surviving for a long time in the wild, though one can only guess the physical limitations or advantages a snake with an extra foot might have.

It’s only a matter of time before regular snakes evolve into walking monsters and take over the world.

Snakes Anyone?

Its been a while since my last post.

There's a friend who has a shop that I would hang out once a while. And in one of those hangouts, I met a supplier. A guy from a village famous for the wrong reason. Restaurants over there are purported to serve wild animals.

Ranging from turtles to crocodiles to wild monitor lizards and even tigers and elephants, that's why I say this village is famous for the wrong reason. This supplier could be pulling my leg, but among the many wild animals that he alleged was available, nothing interests me more than snakes.

Yeah, the creepy thing that gives me the shiver. That's why it interests me. Its assuring to know that stuff that can kill in a jiffy safely in a cooking pot, away from harms way. Nah, I'm not interested to get those in my tummy at the moment. Animal lovers will surely send me hate mails for this. I'm not promoting eating snakes. Just amazed that animals that give shivers down the spine of many could be conquered and eaten!

If you love snakes, please do not watch the following videos. Thanks.




If the first video did not make you cringe, then you may, for the following video. Already I'm feeling goose bumps all over.




He's gonna puke, he's gonna puke, after this video, you'll wonder if snake eating has become the in thing.
