Worst Nightmare Realized of the Day
Mar. 29, 2011
Worst Nightmare Realized of the Day: When a seven-year-old girl in Hanover, Germany, lifted the lid of the toilet in her house, the last thing in the world she expected to find was a seven-foot-long boa constrictor staring back at her. But that’s precisely what she found.
The slithering sewer-dweller eventually made a U-turn down the S-bend, but not before police managed to snap a photo of the literal plumber’s snake.
A wildlife expert, offering a possible explanation, said “[p]eople buy these snakes when they are young and they grow very large very quickly and scare the life out of their owners who try to flush them down the lavatory or release them into the drains.”

Everybody Needs A Hobby of the Day

Everybody Needs A Hobby of the Day: Urban climber Alain Robert, better known as “the French Spider-Man,” spent six hours yesterday scaling the world’s tallest building, Dubai’s Burj Khalifa, which towers 828m over the United Arab Emirates.
Unlike previous building ascensions, Robert was required by the local authorities to use a rope and harness. “I do understand,” he said, commenting on the safety restrictions. “You know, this is such an iconic building so I can understand that even though they are taking care so much about my precious life, they are also taking care a lot of that precious Burj Khalifa.”

DIAF of the Day
Mar. 29, 2011
DIAF of the Day: Remember back in February when Tara Reid claimed she was working on a Big Lebowski sequel, only to be zinged a few days later by Ethan Coen with the quip “I’m glad she’s working on it“?
Well, Coen might change his mind once he finds out she was actually working on it.
As one astute FoD commenter notes, “I always wondered why they didn’t cast the original film with Tara Reid playing every part. I guess they had a good reason.”
