Family finds rattlesnake peeking out of toilet To young Isac Mcfadden, who simply got up to use the bathroom Tuesday morning, a snake in the toilet was quite an unwelcome surprise, to say the least. Jumping into that protective mode, Isac’s mom told him to grab a shovel. When he returned with the tool, his mother killed the snake. But that’s not the end…. For the past 20 years, Nathan Hawkins has been working with snakes in a small Texas town of Buffalo Gap. So when Hawkins, the owner of Big Country Snake Removal, received a frantic call from this family in Abilene, Texas, about a rattlesnake peeking its head out of a toilet — he thought it was “unusual,” but nothing that he couldn’t handle. According to Hawkins, who is a snake handler, snakes are actually amazing creatures that are really misunderstood, with irrational fears around them. When Hawkins arrived at the house, he was surprised to find a dead snake. He removed it from the toilet bowl and asked the family if he could do a quick house inspection just for assurance. Hawkins has had years of experience and knowledge of the behaviour of snakes, so based on his own intuition, Hawkins first checked out the family’s old storm cellar. Sure enough, he found 13 snakes huddled in the corner. He explained to the family that western diamondback rattlesnakes are extremely communal animals during cooler months, and tend to live together in dens. Hawkins suspecting that there might be more, got down on his hands and knees and crawled around underneath the house, where he spotted some old sheet metal. With a flashlight in one hand and a snake tong in the other, Hawkins caught 10 additional rattlesnakes — 5 baby rattle. Hawkins caught 24 snakes altogether. He does not kill any of the creatures that he catches. Instead, he relocates the snakes or donates them to local colleges to study. “I get to keep snakes alive that would typically end up with a gunshot wound,” Hawkins said. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ North Carolina woman wants daycare worker charged Kaycee Oxendine, a No. Carolina mother is asking police to press charges against a daycare worker who breast-fed her son without her permission.

The 58-year-old man, from Huishui, China is a 'huge fan' of the 'beautiful female figures' he calls his daughters. Li Chen who divorced his wife in 2004 and has raised his son by himself, bought his first doll in 2014 to fill that empty space in his life. Li spends every day looking after his seven human-size silicone companions with tender loving care. In an interview with MailOnline, Li, who goes with a pseudonym, said he does not use his dolls for intimacy, instead he grooms and dresses them. So far, he has spent well over £11,600 buying clothes for his dolls, after all they are...as he claims...his daughters. He even takes them on holidays and makes music videos for them. Li who has such a fascination for these companions and believes that they are a great necessity, gifted his son with his very own silicone doll on his eighteenth birthday. Li plans to start a business designing and producing fashionable clothes for his silicone daughters, each of which costs at least 10,000 yuan (£1,170). When asked why he likes his plastic girls, Li said that people in China call him and other fans of these dolls "perverts", but to him, they are beautiful. They are combinations of the best features taken from various women, which he simply appreciates. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Small town in Oklahoma imitating the story line of “Footloose” A 1984 film, starring Kevin Bacon, Footloose the Musical tells the story of Ren McCormack, an upbeat Chicago teen who moves to a small town in which is set in a small, religious Middle Western town where rock music and dancing is strictly forbidden as a result of a local minister’s efforts. There is a small town in Oklahoma that is echoing the story line of the movie “Footloose”. An event organizer has decided to cancel the Valentine’s Day dance because of an arcane city ordinance enforcing a strict moral code. Reports have said that the organizer cancelled the dance in Henryetta, Oklahoma because it would have taken place 300 feet from a church, in violation of a town ordinance that forbids dancing within 500 feet of a place of worship. Mayor Jennifer Clason, who was born in Henryetta, says she always knew about the old city ordinance but that it has never been enforced. Police Chief Steve Norman says his department has no interest in doing so. Clason says city councilors will consider abolishing the ordinance during their Feb. 22 meeting. So it is possible that there might a Valentine dance in 2018! Henrietta has a population of 6,500. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Woman dies with arm stuck overnight in clothing drop-off bin Judith Permar drove to a clothing drop-off box at about 2 a.m. Sunday, her black Hummer shrouded in the darkness of the Natalie, Pa., night. It doesn’t appear the 56-year-old was fueled by a late-night desire to help the poor, though. When she arrived at the box, she jumped out of her enormous SUV, leaving the engine running. At that point, it seems that she pulled a stepladder up to the drop-off box. No one can say for sure — the next time anyone saw Permar, she has expired. According to police, she stood on the stepladder so that she could reach the top of the box. She rummaged through the donated items, even taking some out. Police can’t be sure exactly why — given that she drives a Hummer, it didn’t seem that she was a charity case— but it doesn’t appear that this was the first time either. Back in November of last year, police received a report of a woman, also driving a black Hummer, removing items from the clothes bin. After allegedly removing several bags filled with clothes and shoes, Permar slipped as the stepladder collapsed, with her arm stuck in the door. The fall broke her arms and wrists, which were trapped in the box. Her feet, meanwhile, didn’t quite touch the ground, leaving her hanging. There she dangled under 21 degrees condition, until 8:30 the next morning, when she was finally found. Bags were scattered around her, and the Hummer’s engine was still running. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/offbeat/family-finds-rattlesnake-in-toilet-%E2%80%93-then-an-even-bigger-surprise/ar-AAmBTHU http://www.wdrb.com/story/34445745/north-carolina-woman-wants-police-to-take-action-after-daycare-worker-breast-fed-her-son http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/peoplesdaily/article-4197080/Meet-man-lives-seven-sex-dolls.html?ito=social-facebook http://wkrg.com/ap/oklahoma-town-cancels-dance-because-of-old-city-ordinance-2/
