Woman Swallowed by Python
7 04 2008I know. I didn’t believe it either. But it’s true:
A python killed and half-swallowed a woman in south-eastern Bangladesh, according to police.
Basanti Tripura, 38, was collecting fruit with a friend in a forest when she was attacked on Tuesday, a police official said.
She was swallowed up to her waist.
The python, believed to have been more than 3 metres long, was killed and the body retrieved, the official said.

Um. Glad that I live in a country with polar bears, giant moose, bobcats, wolves, and the occasional homicidal seagull.
Got the tidbit from here.
Gah.

Eh, it’s not that bad over there! Honestly!
Yeah. I know - my last bit is sarcasm, as in, we aren’t that safe from wild animals here either.
And besides, the freaky factor = it doesn’t happen that often, which means that life is indeed normal on that side of things too. Thank goodness. Imagine if pythons decided humans made yummy food, despite all inherent chemicals and drug-laced fat.
Poor woman.
LOL @ your last sentence. Suicidal seagulls… man, we all see so many of those in good ol’ Canada these days.
