Upon hearing "wrap", people usually associate it with vinyl wrapping which is pretty common these days. Wrapping not only protects the paintwork but also allows the revamping of the vehicle's appearance. However, the "wrap" on this Honda Shuttle is not what we expect it to be... Watch this 13-seconds video to find out what is "wrapped" on this Honda Shuttle's rooftop: What happened? In this bizarre occurrence, a reticulated python (One of Singapore's most common snake types) is spotted on the roof of a slow-moving Honda Shuttle. You can see the driver's concerned look upon realising that he had somehow attracted a group of passersby, who were filming him for god knows why. The short clip ends with the Honda Ssssshuttle driver still unaware of the situation and driving off with the python still on its roof. What a snakey (sneaky) python!! Filming isn't the utmost priority Yes yes, I know. If filming was not the priority, I wouldn't even have a blog post to publish at all. Well, I may be no expert, but the logical action from those passersby should be to alert and stop the driver. Otherwise, the python might fall off and end up as roadkill. Or worse, it may fall onto the road and subsequently cause motorists to swerve away from it. Netizens' comments What a pity that whipping out your smartphone to film is the first priority during such situations. Tell me about it. I bet he was thinking "Ji pai siao liao", which translates to "this time siao/crazy already". Why you gotta be so savage? Public Service Announcement 1. Wildlife encounter: If you encounter wildlife, the general rule of thumb is to leave it as it is. However, in the snakey situation that the Honda Shuttle driver encountered, do not hit, move or attempt to handle the snake on your own. Instead, call ACRES wildlife rescue 24-hour hotline at 9783 7782. 2. Accident with wildlife: Stop, report the incident to the relevant authorities and provide reasonable assistance at the scene of the accident. If you hit the animal, which results in an injury/death, call the Land Transport Authority at 1800 2255 582, or the Traffic Police at 6547 0000. If other motorists are not obstructed, with the animal still alive and injured, call ACRES at 9783 7782, Animal & Veterinary Service at 1800 4761 600 or SPCA at 6287 5355. Else, if the animal is already dead and requires removal, call NEA at 1800 2255 632.

In Eunosville....dunno to laugh or feel concerned...hahahaha Python hides in Eunosville toilet bowl, bites housewife's thighhttp://buff.ly/1qfN3Se Python hides in Eunosville toilet bowl, bites housewife's thigh | The New Paper May 1 was Labour Day, her son's second birthday, and now, Madam Noraslinda Asat (above) has another reason to remember this date for life. WWW.TNP.SG May 1 was Labour Day, her son's second birthday, and now, Madam Noraslinda Asat (above) has another reason to remember this date for life. The 34-year-old housewife was bitten by a python as she sat on the toilet bowl last Thursday, around 5.10pm. She was in her Eunosville home's master bedroom ensuite bathroom when she felt the sharp pain. Standing up, she saw the jaws of a 1.8m-long python clamped on the back of her right thigh. She was taken to hospital where she received an injection and was discharged. The snake has not been caught and Madam Noraslinda is still traumatised. She has refused to use either toilet at home, preferring public ones at places like the coffee shop. Read the full report in The New Paper on Thursday (May 8).

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/snake-skyscraper-the-plans-for-the-tower-shaped-141800783.html It’s a game of snakes and ladders on a gigantic scale. An architect has published his plans for a huge skyscraper that is shaped like a cobra. The proposed snaking structure has been designed by Russian architect Vasily Klyukin and features a head that could contain a nightclub. His previous creations include yachts with detachable jets and he has designed his slithering snake building to be constructed somewhere in Asia or the Middle East. The black and gold snake would have changeable lights that run the whole way up the structure, as well as a diamond pattern on the back to reflect Yin and Yang. iew photos Mr Klyukin said: “These buildings rise up proudly in columns looking over cities or stand alone in the landscape. “Either way, skyscrapers grab our attention and awaken our consciousness, inspiring some and irritating others. “These rising towers have changed cityscapes around the world and have become the clearest reflection of cultural and economic progress in the twentieth century. “At times, it is skyscrapers that dictate the style of business regions and even whole cities. “Tourists, fascinated, would look at this immense cobra, its jaws serving a terrace would be a restaurant or a night club and its body could contain offices or apartments.” ===================================================== OK ... so where is GI Joe ??

The python was taken away by pest control, but the cobra was only caught hours later. POSTED: 27 Aug 2015 21:15 UPDATED: 27 Aug 2015 22:45 PHOTOS Two snakes were seen duelling at the NTU campus on Thursday (Aug 27). (Photo: Abhishek Ambede) ENLARGE CAPTION 3716 15 0 Email More A A SINGAPORE: Two snakes, believed to be a reticulated python and a king cobra, were seen "fighting" each other on the street near Nanyang Technological University's (NTU) Research Techno Plaza (RTP) at noon on Thursday (Aug 27). PhD student Abhishek Ambede shared pictures of the incident and told Channel NewsAsia the snakes were wrestling on the road beside a forested area. "Some of us working at RTP can see the site from our office. When we spotted the incident, I went down and noticed that the python had constricted around the cobra's head. ADVERTISING The tussle, witnessed by a large crowd, lasted for about 30 minutes before the snakes separated. "The cobra escaped to the bushes, leaving the python moving slowly on its own along the road." Mr Abhishek said he and other bystanders alerted NTU's pest control, as well as the Animal Concerns Research and Society (ACRES). Pest control officers removed the python, but were unable to locate the cobra. After 4pm, the cobra reappeared briefly. "It was about that time that ACRES appeared but by the time they arrived, the snake had disappeared again into one of the drainage holes," Mr Abhishek said. "ACRES told us they could not catch the snake if they could not see it. All we know is that there is no immediate danger. The only worry is that if it reappears on the road, there is a chance it might get run over," he added. Mr Satish Digen, a technical officer at NTU, said pest control officers put sulfur powder down the drains in an attempt to draw it out. The reptile eventually emerged from its hiding place at about 10pm on Thursday and was taken away in a bag by the pest control team. The NTU Graduate Student Council earlier urged those on campus to be on alert for the cobra. "Please be careful when you take the sidewalk near to bushes. Night researchers and night runners, please be extra vigilant," it said in a post on Facebook. - CNA/hs

This one really die also must bite back......... Severed Snake Head Kills Chef Cooking Cobra Soup The powerful King Cobra A chef cooking a soup dish from cobra flesh died in China after he was bitten by the snake's head – 20 minutes after it was cut off. Peng Fan was preparing the rare Asian delicacy from the Indochinese spitting cobra when the snake's severed head bit him with venom as he was throwing it into the bin, The Mirror reported. Peng died before he could be treated in hospital with life-saving anti-venom, police said. "It is a highly unusual case, but it appears to be just an accident," a police spokesman said. "He prepared the snake himself and was just unlucky. "There was nothing that could be done to save the man. Only the anti-venom could have helped, but this was not given in time. It was just a tragic accident." Diners who were eating in the restaurant at the time of the incident described screams coming from the kitchen. Lin Sun, 44, who was dining with his wife Su said: "We were in the restaurant having a meal for my wife's birthday when suddenly there was a lot of commotion. "We did not know what was happening but could hear screams coming from the kitchen. There were calls for a doctor in the restaurant but unfortunately by the time medical assistance arrived, the man had already died. After we heard that we did not continue with our meal." According to snake expert Yang Hong-Chang, all reptiles can function for up to an hour after losing their body parts. "It is perfectly possible that the head remained alive and bit Peng's hand," he said. "By the time a snake has lost its head, it's effectively dead, as basic body functions have ceased, but there is still some reflexive action. "It means snakes have the capability of biting and injecting venom even after the head has been severed." https://sg.news.yahoo.com/severed-snake-head-kills-chef-cooking-cobra-soup-101904733.html

http://www.smh.com.au/travel/travel-incide...0110-2ciu0.html So the Samuel L Jackson movie wasn't fictional after all! Crazy stuff, and a big snake too.

Have you ever imagined how it would be to drive with a snake on your hood? Would you be able to continue driving or would you panic completely? Well this family got a nice experience with a snake. "We were driving 65 mph down a highway when my husband caught something out of the corner of this eye...a snakehead coming out from under our hood onto our windshield!" Check what happens

Let's say I have an MC from work but don't really feel that sick, is it acceptable to go watch Captain America instead? Hypothetical question hor. Don't flame me

Just want to say that fuel additives may not be snake oil. Some may work and actually improve combustion and reduce pollution. I just read up on Oxygenate blending in fuels and ethanol is used to increase oxygen level in fuels and this will result in better combustion and lower pollution. It also double up as octane booster. Another chemical is methyl tertiary butyl ether. Check wiki for more info. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasoline Of course, we have no idea how much of these are already available in our petrol and what are after market additives using. Thus we may never know whats good and whats snake oil....... At least we do know that some additives like Techron is not snake oil. In some countries, Techron is sold as a aftermarket additive. Not the case for SG cause we already have Techron in Caltex petrol.

Largest snake 'as long as a bus' By Paul Rincon Science reporter, BBC News The snake is thought to have been some 13m (42ft) long Enlarge Image The discovery of fossilised remains belonging to the world's largest snake has been reported in Nature journal. Titanoboa was 13m (42ft) long - about the length of a bus - and lived in the rainforest of north-east Colombia 58-60 million years ago. The snake was so wide it would have reached up to a person's hips, say researchers, who have estimated that it weighed more than a tonne. Green anacondas - the world's heaviest snakes - reach a mere 250kg (550lbs). Snakes had the opportunity to evolve and grow as big as this one did in a way that they probably wouldn't today P David Polly, Indiana University Reticulated pythons - the world's longest snakes - can reach up to 10m (32ft). The team of researchers led by Jason Head, from the University of Toronto at Mississauga, Canada, used a known mathematical relationship between the size of vertebrae and the length of the body in living snakes to estimate the size of the ancient animal. Named Titanoboa cerrejonensis by its discoverers, the beast's 13m-long body and 1,140kg (2,500lb) weight make it the largest snake on record. "At its greatest width, the snake would have come up to about your hips. The size is pretty amazing," said co-author P David Polly, from Indiana University in Bloomington, US. Researchers discovered fossilised bones belonging to the super-sized slitherers and their possible prey at Cerrejon, one of the world's largest open-pit coal mines. The animal is a relative of modern boa constrictors. Warming world "Probably like an anaconda, it spent a lot of time in the water," said Professor Polly. "It would have needed to eat a lot. What its prey was exactly, we don't know. But it probably included alligators, big fish or crocodiles." The researchers also used the reptile's size to make an estimate of Earth's temperature 58 to 60 million years ago in tropical South America. A vertebra from an anaconda (l) is dwarfed by one from Titanoboa ® Palaeontologists have long known that as temperatures go up and down over geological time, generally speaking, so does the upper size limit of cold-blooded creatures - or poikilotherms. This is because the metabolism of a poikilotherm is more or less controlled by the average temperature of its environment. Assuming the Earth today was not particularly unusual, the researchers calculated that a snake of Titanoboa's size would have required an average annual temperature of 30C to 34C (86F to 93F) to survive. By comparison, the average yearly temperature of today's Cartagena, a Colombian coastal city, is about 28C. Opportunity knocks "A snake living in the tropics would have been operating at a much higher metabolic rate," said Professor Polly. "So snakes had the opportunity to evolve and grow as big as this one did in a way that they probably wouldn't today." He added that as the Earth warmed up in future, cold-blooded animals could be expected to evolve larger bodies. Dr Head adds that the find "challenges our understanding of past climates and environments, as well as the biological limitations on the evolution of giant snakes." However, Dr Matthew Huber, a climatologist from Purdue University in Indiana, who was not connected with the study, questioned whether the link between size and temperature was "generalisable and accurate". He commented: "Head and colleagues' findings are the result of probably the first study in 'snake palaeothermometry', and as such must be viewed with caution." [email protected]

Cops caught eating snake at MSCP? The story's a bit confusing. Apparently a hardwarezone forummer's dad was at the receiving end of an impolite (apparently with voice raised) police officer when his dad unwittingly stumbled on them.
