Couple Discovers A Python Under the Hood of Their Car
File this under “Reasons why you don’t want to live in South Africa”.
A couple discovered a huge python hitching a ride in their car. The slithery squatter sneaked underneath the bonnet of Marlene Swart and Leon Swanepoel’s car while they were on holiday at the Kruger National Park in South Africa. They were on the look-out for lions when the five-metre python shot out of the grass and disappeared under their car. When the snake failed to reappear Marlene and Leon were forced to endure a three-mile journey knowing the python was somewhere inside their vehicle before arriving at the nearest lookout point.
Joke Of The Day: Fair Trade
A guy was driving down the road in his Yugo during a thunder storm, when his windshield wiper broke. He drives until he comes to an auto body shop.
He goes into the shop, walks up to the counter and says, “Excuse me, but could you give me a windshield wiper for my Yugo?”
The clerk leans against the counter and thinks for a while. Finally he says, “Sure…that sounds like a fair trade.”
Jet Powered Go-Kart
Hey, got an extra kid you want to get rid of? Well, you’re in luck, because some guy has gone and created a jet-powered go-kart! Just strap anybody you no longer want around into this thing and watch as they destroy themselves!
The go-kart is created Seth Kettleman, a used aircraft parts dealer who attaches jet engines to things as a hobby. The guy’s already built a genuine jet-powered Batmobile, but I guess that just wasn’t dangerous enough, so he moved onto go-karts. Currently Seth’s go-kart of death tops out at around 100 miles-per-hour, but don’t worry, he’s working on increasing that top speed.
Sadly, the Ebay auction for the jet-powered go-kart has already ended (somebody got a real deal at $8,100) but don’t worry, Seth Kettleman really likes sticking jet engines to things. If you ask reeeeal nice and pony up enough dough, I’m sure he’ll make you your own deathtrap. I’m sending him my designs for a jet-powered shopping cart as we speak.
