  2. For you zoo goers:

    Powell, OH – The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium has a new reticulated python that has big shoes to fill. Fluffy’s daughter arrived yesterday and can now be seen in the famous snake’s former habitat in the Asia Quest region of the Zoo.

    Snakes do not care for their young so this new snake, hatched in 1998, never knew her gentle giant mother. At about 200 pounds and 18-feet in length she has a ways to go to measure up to her predecessor. Fluffy was 300 pounds and 24-feet long and held the title of longest snake by Guinness World Records. Fluffy came to the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium in 2007 and died on October 15, 2010 due to an apparent tumor on her ovary. The histopathology on the mass has not been completed.

    Columbus Zoo and Aquarium staff members were moved by the outpouring of sympathy and support they received from Fluffy’s fans from the central Ohio community and around the world. When they learned the private breeder who sold Fluffy to the Zoo in 2007 also had her daughter, the decision was made to bring her to the Zoo. She arrived late yesterday.

    Within the next few weeks, the Zoo will announce plans for the public to assist with naming the new snake.

    Columbus Zoo members can see Fluffy’s daughter during a Wildlights preview event on Thursday, November 18. Wildlights opens to the general public on the evening of Friday, November 19 and continues through January 1, 2011 (excluding Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.)

    Reticulated pythons are non-venomous constrictors found in tropical forests in Southeast Asia. They are the world’s longest snakes averaging 10-20 feet in length. The reticulated python skin has a geometric pattern that camouflages the snake protecting it from predators and allowing it to ambush prey. Feeding mostly on small mammals such as rodents, large snakes may consume wild pigs, deer and primates. Reticulated pythons are widespread but they are killed for their skin and numbers are dwindling.

  3. A British General had sent some of his men off to fight for their country in the Falkland Island Crisis.

    Upon returning to England from the South American island, three soldiers that had distinguished themselves in battle were summoned to the General's office. "Since we weren't actually at war," the General began, "I can't give out any medals. We did, however, want to let each of you know your efforts were appreciated.

    What we've decided to do is to let each of you choose two points on your body. You will be given two pounds sterling for each inch of distance between those parts. We'll start on the left, boys, so what'll it be?"

    Soldier 1: "The tip of me head to me toes, sahr!" General: "Very good son, that's 70 inches which comes to 140 pounds"

    Soldier 2: "The tip of the finger on one outstretched hand to the tip of the other, sir!"

    General: "Even better son, that's 72 inches which comes to 144 pounds"

    Soldier 3: "The palm of me hand to the tip of me left pinky, sahr!"

    General: "That's a strange but fair request, son!

    As the general begins the measurement: "What! Son, where is your left pinky?"

    Soldier 3: "Falkland Island, sahr!"

  5. never thought of it//////will be checking in the mourning

    curious if a short in a wire somewhere could short out the battery

    corrosion or or any crap on the top of the battery will discharge it and affect the connections as well.

  6. People are only "fed up with political correctness" when they're stopped from doing something they politically agree with.

    But when someone else isn't stopped from doing something you politically disagree with, it's "total bullshit" right?

    I think you are correct in your assumption but not everyone is that way. I will admit I have stood up for people's rights/views/etc even when I didn't agree with it. Case in point, I think what Westboro church does is absolutely wrong on so many levels, but protesting peacefully is not against the law. As much as it really pains me to say this, they have that right.
