It seems that a certain carpet python has had an appetite for something other then a nice chicken egg; golf balls!

The python was saved by surgery in Australia after it mistaking four golf balls as chicken egg. A couple in New South Wales had placed the balls in their hen’s nest to encourage it to lay eggs. The eggs disappeared, but in return they got a lumpy looking carpet python.

They took the 32-inch non-venomous snake to the nearby Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, where senior veterinarian Michael Pyne operated to remove the balls from the snake’s intestine.

The snake was making a speedy recovery, Pyne said.

“Those golf balls weren’t moving any further. They were stuck where they were,” Pyne said. “If it hadn’t been found, it would have died for sure.”

Stress is one thing, but jailing an entire courtroom because of it is something entirely different.

Judge Robert Restaino, of Niagara Falls, New York jailed 46 people on Tuesday after no one would admit to having a cell phone that began ringing during his court session.

Raul Felder, chairman of state Commission on Judicial Conduct, wrote in the decision to remove the judge that the man ’snapped’ and ‘engaged in what can only be described as two hours of inexplicable madness’ during the 2005 session.

Judge Restaino was hearing domestic violence cases when the phone rang. “Every single person is going to jail in this courtroom unless I get that instrument now. If anybody believes I’m kidding, ask some of the folks that have been here for a while. You are all going.”

When no one came forward, the judge ordered the group into custody and they were taken by police to the city jail, where they were searched and packed into crowded cells. Fourteen people who could not post bail were shackled and bused to the Niagara County Jail, a 30-minute drive away.

Later in the afternoon, after being told reporters were calling, the judge ordered the defendants released.

You’re hot, you’re overworked and trying to get the perfect meal together for clients and accidentally grab the wrong ingredient. It can happen to anyone, I’ve substituted salt for sugar one time; but this beats all.

A cook in China killed himself and five others when he accidentally ’spiced up’ the soup with rat poison.

The cook, Chen Ruyan, had a rat poison selling business on the side and grabbed the rat poison instead of the flower for his rice dumpling soup to make the rice dough less watery.

That must have been some trip they were on. A woman claims that Jesus and his mother Mary turned up on the below pancake. They sold it on eBay for $29.00

They claim that “This is a spiritual, unusual and unique pancake that we believe to be holy and depicts what looks to be Jesus and Mary”

I don’t see it. All I see is a somewhat oddly shaped pancake with light and dark coloring. Maybe the fact that I am not religious must have had something to do with it.
