Pythons Cause Scare After Biting Their Way Out of Boxes at German Post Office

Friday, May 09, 2008

BERLIN — A trio of packaged pythons has caused a scare at a German post office.

Police in Darmstadt said Friday that the snakes were stuffed into a parcel that was handed in for mailing to eastern Germany. It contained two tiger pythons and an albino tiger python of more than 3 feet in length.

A post office worker noticed one of the reptiles on Thursday afternoon after it apparently bit through the package. Colleagues caught the snake and put it in an empty box. Police then recovered two more snakes from the damaged parcel.

Police say they have put the package's sender under investigation for possible violation of animal protection laws. The animals have been taken to a reptile house.

Or may she already has.
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

What's wrong with a few *^&+$&%!!&& snakes in a box?
I believe in the usefulness of useless information.
