Animal news, take 2: You're sitting on the toilet doing what most people do and suddenly feel a "pinch" in the region of your genitals. What could it be? In Graz, Austria over the weekend, a 65-year-old man had that same experience, got up, turned around and saw a four-foot-long, albino reticulated python in the bowl. Police who were summoned said the snake apparently escaped from a 24-year-old neighbor's apartment and slid into the toilet through the drains. It's been returned to its owner, who --unsurprisingly-- has 10 other snakes, all of who are non-venomous constrictors.

By noon, there were already 34 million retweets.
