801...How Big Are Aussie Toliets?

The reason I ask is that Erik Rantzau of Virginia, which is near Darwin, which is in the Northern Territory, which is in Oz, which is far away, found a 10 foot long python coiled in his toilet last week.

After freaking out a bit Mr. Rantzau called snake wrangler [seriously, I am quoting directly from Metro.co.uk on this if you want to check] Chris Peberdy who took care of the problem.

What is chilling is what Mr. Peberdy had to say about the monster snake: "He must have come up through a drain. He was cruising around the house at night and returning to the toilet by day."

Beauty, eh?

758...But Officer The Horse Was Completely Sober

Australia.

It is just a wonderful land, warm, friendly and, probably because ethnically it is pretty much dominated by my people, the Irish, Oz is full of those who like to have a bit of alcohol induced fun.

ABC News, that's the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Company, Commission, whatever, reports that an unnamed Tennant Creek man has had his driving license pulled for six months because he drove drunk. He drove his horse drunk. The man had been told by police not to ride his horse home from a Tennant Creek pub in April coz he was too hammered. He had earlier tried to enter the pub with said horse which alerted the police to the situation.

Tennant Creek is in the middle of the Northern Territory making it about as middle of nowhere as one can get on this planet and still get beer on tap.
