Snake bites on butt as he plays video game on toilet seat
A 28-year-old’s unwavering habit of playing mobile games while using the toilet was interrupted when a snake bit him on the backside.
According to news reports, Sabri Tazali had been sitting on the toilet playing video games on his phone when the snake struck him. He found out two weeks later that the reptile had left behind teeth fragments in his buttock after he yanked the snake away during their encounter in his house.
The Malaysian man, sharing his experience through his Twitter account, described the incident as an “unfortunate moment.”
Mr Tazali explained that he often spends about 15 minutes playing games on his mobile device while defecating. However, on March 28, he stood up in shock only to find that the snake had latched itself to his buttock. P
He said that he was relieved when he found out that the snake was a non-poisonous one and the bite wasn’t painful.
Mr Tazali said he went to a hospital, where he was given an anti-tetanus shot, adding that that was the first time that such an incident occurred in his house since his family had been living there for 40 years.

Message in bottle floats from Canada to Ireland in 13 years
A message in a bottle launched by visitors to Newfoundland’s Bell Island was found washed up on an Irish beach nearly 13 years later, after apparently crossing the Atlantic Ocean.
Kate Gay said she was walking a Dingle Peninsula beach this week when she spotted the wine bottle with a sheet of paper inside.
Gay showed the bottle to members of Creative Ireland NeartnaMacharaí during a meeting at her house that evening, and they broke the bottle open.
The note, written by a couple named Brad and Anita, was dated Sept. 12, 2012. The letter described the couple’s day trip to Bell Island.
There was a phone number on the letter, but there was no answer when group members tried to call.
The Maharees Heritage and Conservation group posted photos of the bottleto social media on Monday, and within an hour group members were messaging with Anita.
Group member Martha Farrell said Anita reported that she and Brad had married in 2016 and are still together to this day. -upi.com

Woman earns world record for collection of 15,485 egg cups
A Spanish woman who has been collecting egg cups for over 50 years earned a Guinness World Record when her collection was tallied at 15,485 items.
María José Fuster recruited two witnesses to help her tally her collection at a community center in her hometown of Campo, Spain.
Fuster’s collection includes multiple patterns, colors, designs and even novelty cups bearing the images of characters including Superman, Betty Boop and Garfield.
Fuster maintains two blogs related to her hobby — one to catalog each piece, and one to list the names of the people who have donated egg cups to her collection.
Some of her most prized egg cups, about 1,143 of them, are currently on display at a local museum.
