Snake in the toilet...wtf?
A MAN was rushed to a hospital after a snake bit his penis while he was relieving himself in a toilet, according to hospital officials in Israel.

The man, 35, of northern Israel was bitten on Friday after the snake suddenly appeared from inside the toilet.

The man suffered minor injuries from the bite; fortunately the snake was not venomous.

Rescue workers responded to the scene and took the man to Rambam Medical Center in Haifa, where he received medical treatment, reports Your Jewish News.

An examination revealed the snake was not poisonous.

The man told emergency workers it happened after he went to the toilet to relieve himself and suddenly felt a strong burning sensation in his penis.

One of the paramedics said the man told him he has seen the snake and it was very small.

According to the paramedic, despite the location of the injury, the man managed to stay calm and even had a laugh with workers at his own expense.

'This is the first time I've seen a snake bite like this,' the paramedic said.

'Luckily, all tests seem fine and the man is feeling well,' the paramedic added.

'There will undoubtedly be bite marks on the area in question,' the hospital said.

'The snake was not poisonous. The man is currently under observation pending additional test results and as soon as we get the results, he will be able to go home,' the hospital said.

The man was lucky the snake was not venomous since there are many deadly species commonly found in Israel. Snakes are very territorial and will strike out to protect their space, be it a rocky crevice or a domestic toilet.

It is 'snake season' currently in the Middle East and among the most dangerous are the black snake or desert cobra, the horned desert viper, the Palestinian viper which is the most common poisonous snake in Israel, the saw-scaled viper, or the false horned viper.

To prevent meeting a snake in the home, it is recommended to keep the house clear of rats, mice and other snake prey, fix leaky taps (snakes are drawn to water), and try to minimise plants and maximise grass in the garden since plants provide the perfect cover for snakes.

Fix windows on the house and windscreens on cars, to avoid any unwelcome surprises. 

Keeping a cat is also a great way to scare off snakes since they are one of their biggest enemies

Hero dog put out bomb in Second World War by URINATING on it

A medal awarded to a dog for urinating on an incendiary bomb to extinguish it in the Blitz was found during a house clearance. Great Dane Juliana took action when the device fell through the roof of her owner’s home in 1941. In 1944, she got a second Blue Cross Medal for alerting customers to a fire in her master’s shop. Auctioneers found one medal and a portrait, which carried a plaque describing Juliana’s brave deeds, in a Bristol house. The two items sold together for £1,100, more than 18 times the £60 pre-sale estimate. Philip Taubenheim, auctioneer at Wotton Auction Rooms, Glos, said: “These items tell a fantastic story. "One can only assume this was a Great Dane with a great bladder.” Juliana met a sad end in 1946 when she was killed by poison posted through her owner’s letterbox. Mirror

Doctors grow disfigured teenage girl a new face on her BREAST

A teenage girl who was left horrifically disfigured in a fire has had a new face grown on her BREAST by doctors. The move follows a similar operation in which another group of Chinese doctors managed to give a car accident victim a new nose by growing it first on his forehead. In the latest operation 17-year-old Xu Jianmei woke up after the operation this week to find that she once again had a chin, eyelids and an ear. But she said best of all she could smile properly for the first time in 12 years since the fire that left her horrifically disfigured when she was just five. The parents had been able to afford plastic surgery to improve her life in any way but that changed when doctors working on the pioneering new technology offered her the chance to have surgery for free. It meant that the girl from the small Chinese fishing village received the face transplant using tissue from her chest in an operation that has now been carried out. The transplant team in...

Bizarre ‘double banana’ found inside a single skin

It turns out there is such a thing as double bananas – and this man has proof. Richard Preece, 33, found the extremely rare fruit in a bunch of bananas he had bought in his weekly shop in Asda. The father-of-three – who has completed charity fun runs dressed as Bananaman – was a little shocked at the bizarre discovery. His wife, Samantha, said: ‘It is the most bizarre coincidence. ‘It was just in a bunch of ordinary bananas so it was a bit of a shock. ‘When Sam opened it up none of us could quite believe it. I never even knew that you could get double bananas. ‘I showed my kids and they were quite amazed as they had never seen anything like it before. ‘When I put it on Facebook I wasn’t expecting the reaction that I got with the amount of innuendos and other implications people were commenting.’ In case you were wondering, the double banana tasted no different to an ordinary one, according to children Beatrice, nine, and Felix, six. ‘I thought my days...
