One-Year-Old Brazilian Boy Bites Venomous Pit Viper to Death
By Spooky on November 6th, 2015 Category: News
Vipers are usually the ones who do the biting, but a one-year-old boy from Brazil gave the venomous snake a taste of its own medicine, biting it on the head and killing it.
17-month-old Lorenzo was playing with the family dog in the garden of his home, in the town of Mostardas, Brazil’s Rio Grande do Sul state, when he apparently came face to face with a pit viper. His mother Jaine Ferreira Figueira, who was doing some work inside the house, heard some noises and turned around to go check on the boy, only to see him in the room with a snake in his mouth and blood on his clothes. She instinctively shouted for her husband Lucier. They quickly got in their car and took Lorenzo to the Sao Luiz hospital, some 175 km from Porto Alegre, but not before putting the snake in a jar, so doctors could identify it and administer the right anti-venom.

Hmmm. Wonder what the chances are that the dog did that to the snake (to protect him) and the toddler copied the dog by putting the dead/dying snake in his mouth? I saw a Discovery programme once about this family in Oregon, and the mother heard this commotion in her back 'yard', as they call them. There she found a crying toddler with a deep gash on its abdomen, and a still warm, dead labrador, covered with cuts and bloodied around its own mouth. The thick bint concluded that the toddler had fought off a crazed 40kg family pet. The police and dog-pound workers tracked down they badly mauled cougar some time later and destroyed it.

Maybe the snake had no venom or used it all up before the encounter.. Can also be the guardian angel of the toddler:laugh:

There used to be one of them in Southport.

When I was a kid, back in the day when the world was in black and white, there was a kid's programme called The Singing Ringing Tree. There was a vicious dwarf in it, a really scary ****er. I grew up petrified of dwarves ever since. I'd have made an exception for Kylie though.

Reminds me of Gelert from the Beddgelert myth.
 
If the Mississippi county clerk issuing your marriage license believes that you or your betrothed is drunk, insane, or an "imbecile," he or she can deny you the license. And if that's the case, avoid getting hitched in Tennessee too.
 
1. Avoid Giving Certain Flowers in Russia
Be careful when presenting flowers to a friend or business associate in Russia. Yellow blooms signify deceit or a relationship break-up. And skip red carnations, too. Traditionally, red carnations are placed on the graves of the dead, or are offered to surviving war veterans.

Keeping the devil at bay is a common theme of many unusual customs around the planet. In a small community in northern Spain (where tomato tossing and bull running are also customary), residents take part in El Colacho, which literally translates as baby jumping.
Yes, baby jumping. Infants are laid on mattresses on the ground while men dressed as the devil run along the street and jump over the tots, watched by visitors and no doubt terrified parents. This tradition has been going for around 400 years.

Skip the Salt in Egypt
When tucking into a meal in Egypt, by-pass the saltshaker. It’s insulting to your host to sprinkle salt on your food. If you have to season your plate, it means that you find the meal’s taste repulsive
