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.

An Alberta baseball team hosted a Guinness World Record attempt involving an Australian shepherd jumping across the backs of 56 people.
The Edmonton Riverhawks, an amateur summer collegiate team in the West Coast League, hosted the record attempt for the most jumps between people by a dog in one minute during a June 14 game.
Chardonnay, a 4-year-old Australian shepherd belonging to dog trainer Jennifer Fraser, bounded across the backs of 56 fans arranged in a straight line in the outfield.
The record’s rules set a time limit of one minute, but Chardonnay managed to set the record in just 16 seconds.
Fraser said she trained Chardonnay to jump onto her back a few years ago, and her trick repertoire has since expanded.
“Jumping across backs is just one of her many skills,” Fraser said.
Firefighters and an animal control officer in San Francisco came to the rescue of a wild parrot that got its head stuck between panes of glass on a third-floor balcony.
San Francisco Animal Care & Control said on social media that Officer Mullen responded alongside the San Francisco Fire Department on Sunday when a parrot was spotted with its head stuck between two panes of glass on the balcony of an under-construction building.
Firefighters went to the roof of a building and lowered a ladder to the balcony, where they were able to slide the bird upward to free its head.
“They wrapped the bird in a towel and handed it off to Officer Mullen, who checked out the bird,” the post said. “Thankfully they were fine: their wings, legs and neck were all OK, so Officer Mullen released the bird.”
The parrot made its way to a nearby tree to rest on a branch. UPI.com
