If You Know an Adult Who Still Plays with LEGO Blocks ... and Snakes


Rare:  Snake hunters flushed a five-foot poisonous snake out of a child’s LEGO set


Zen Yogi:  cripes, Silas, that's an eastern brown snake, the second most poisonous snake in the world

Don't worry, Yogi, since this was in Australia and the worst of the poisonous snakes over here wear business suits.


Australian snake hunters had their GoPro camera running last week as they responded to a call near Gold Coast, a city in Queensland, Australia.

Their client, a homeowner, had called about a snake in their child’s playroom. They identified the snake as a carpet python, a common (and relatively harmless) species.

But Inside Edition reports that Tony and Brooke Harrison, the Gold Coast and Brisbane Snake Catchers, instead found a five-foot eastern brown snake — the second most poisonous snake on Earth.

ML:  you aren't going to roll out that old snake story from the back yard, are you?

Nooooo, I still remember the look on your face.

Zen Yogi:  what snake story?

See, Yogi, there was a snake who grew up hating the fact he was a snake but his Mama told him, "If you wish really hard on that bright star then things will change."

Zen Yogi:  what happened?

Well, nothin', Yogi.  That only works in Disney movies ... but ... he went to sleep under a big oak tree and that's where Mother Gaia found him.  She granted his wish that he would never kill again.

Zen Yogi:  how did she do that?

She took his fuckin' guns, mate.

Zen Yogi:  this isn't the ML snake story, is it?

It is now, pal.
