Snakes on a plane

Gyalist

A Malaysian man has pleaded guilty to wildlife smuggling after his bag bursting with 95 live boa constrictors broke open on a luggage conveyer belt at Kuala Lumpur International airport, an official said.

Keng Liang "Anson" Wong, 52, who was previously convicted of wildlife trafficking in the United States, was charged on Wednesday in a district court for exporting the endangered boas without a permit, said Shamsuddin Osman, an official with Malaysia's wildlife department. The offence carries a penalty of up to seven years in prison and a fine, Shamsuddin said

Chopped the head off one accidently with a kitchen knife when i got a fright, felt quite cruel, but it was coming at me and if they bite you the venom will kill you in 20 minutes.

I once saw bear grylls in my local park kill a snake with his bare hands, skin it, eat the insides, and then get into it and use it as a sleeping bag. Some man.

Were you smokin' the ganja by any chance?

Surely snakes being on a plane is little threat. Wouldn't they fall off once the plane took off?

Snakes in a plane, now that might be a bit of a worry.

Whenever I read/hear anyone say "smokin' the ganja" it makes me want to spark up.

Sorry,on-topic.

You know you tend to think that after 9/11, this sort of thing wouldn't happen, yet here we are with people smuggling snakes on a plane.
