A five foot python as washed the baby

A "huge" python surprised the life out of a young mum after slithering into her bathroom unannounced as she washed her four-month-old baby.

The five foot snake managed to creep into the house in Dartford, Kent, after possibly using a hole in an outer wall.

Leanne Smith, 18, said: "We had been out for the evening and got home around 10.30pm and I wanted to bath Millie before I put her to bed.

"I was sitting in the bath with her. I saw something move from the corner of my eye and then I heard this huge hiss!

"I looked round and there was this snake coiled up with its head up in the air as if it was going to attack.

"I screamed out for help to my partner Ben saying there was a snake in the bathroom."

Leanne's partner Ben Payne, 18, ran into the room and grabbed Millie and helped Leanne from the bath.

RSPCA officer Anthony Pulfer was called to the home to rescue the royal king python, which may have escaped from an owner in the neighbourhood.

Although it is not a constricting snake or poisonous, the species can bite if it feels threatened, the RSPCA said. Both the woman and baby were unhurt.

Smith's neighbour, who has experience of looking after large snakes, has offered to care for the reptile while its owner is tracked down.

Mr Pulfer said: "This is a huge snake and it was quite a shock for the poor lady. Unfortunately, we have had to rescue lots of snakes lately.

"People take on these snakes and don't realise how big they can grow to and that they often escape."

An RSPCA spokeswoman said escaped pet snakes were often enticed into people's homes by the prospect of warmth.

Some can scale outer walls vertically to find a snug spot near hot pipes or central heating boilers.

She said: "Pythons can climb up the side of buildings. They will go anywhere it is warm so bathroom pipes are an obvious draw.

"We do get a lot of calls to rescue escaped snakes but to get one as large as this is a bit unusual."

130,000 Toothpicks Embedded into Challenges Guinness Record for painting

A craftsman from Jiangxi is planning to use 130,000 toothpicks in a painting, forming the shape of Kwan-Yin, a goddess from Chinese folklore.Toothpicks may only be convenient pieces of wood in most people's eyes, but in Zheng Changlun's opinion, they have another usage---making mosaics.

The craftsman from Shangrao, east China's Jiangxi province, is now working on a painstaking mosaic that is 1.2 meters high and 0.6 meters wide.

A local newspaper reported on Wednesday that he is planning to incorporate 130,000 toothpicks in making a figure painting of Kwan-Yin, or Avalokiteshvara, the Goddess of Mercy from Chinese folklore.

Zheng, 49, drew his inspiration from a TV program which showed an Albanian artist sticking together 1.5 million toothpicks in making a mosaic of a galloping horse. The artist was included into the Guinness Book of World Records for his work.

Zheng also plans to challenge the artist's work with his own after he finish the current work of Kwan-Yin, the report said.

Aurel is The Human Magnet

SOME guys have a kind of animal magnetism – but amazing Aurel Raileanu finds just about ANYTHING will stick to him like glue.

The Romanian hospital worker, known as The Human Magnet for his extraordinary ability, can even make a 50lb TV set cling to his chest without the aid of wires, blue or string.

He can pick up electric irons using just his skin’s bizarre ability — and he can clear a table of cutlery faster than an army of waiters.

Now Aurel, who lives in a run-down area of the Romanian capital Bucharest, is building a career on his strange abilities.

When he isn’t glued to the telly, he works as a kineto-therapist — using the healing qualities of his powers to help people recover from accidents.

The 40-year-old bachelor, who lives with his mum, claims he doesn’t know how he becomes a magnet for objects.

But he explains that first he focuses his mind on something, then releases the feeling of magnetic attraction that makes even the heaviest item stick to him.

Aurel wrote to The Sun describing his mysterious ability — which he says he has had for many years — and included a set of incredible pictures.

So, after we invited him to give us an exclusive demonstration, he showed us the telly trick.

First he concentrated to focus his powers as he leaned towards the TV, then he was able to stand with it stuck to his chest, where it stayed as he walked around the room.

The TV remained hanging off him for several minutes until he finally grabbed it and prised it free — and then only with difficulty.

Next Aurel repeated the move, this time using a big piece of wood studded with nails.

He admits he cannot explain his gift, which allows many objects — not just metal — to stick to his chest, neck and forehead.

He says: “I tend to keep it secret from people in my home town because I am afraid of being branded a freak in their eyes.

“I might have had a sort of magnetism since I was a child, but it wasn’t until about six years ago that I realised the objects would stay as if glued on to me.

“At the time I was wearing a fairly heavy necklace and the clasp broke. I saw it in the mirror — it was open and yet still stuck to my neck. I became curious about this and tried it with other objects — spoons, books, lighters and even the TV set, which is kind of heavy. They all stuck to me.
“But the magnetism only works on bare skin. It is when I go to the doctor that it becomes a little funny, because the stethoscope gets stuck to my chest.”

Stories of “magnetic people” have occurred throughout history.

The best-known from recent years were Russian factory worker Leonid Tenkaev, his wife Galina, daughter Tanya and grandson Kolya.

One year after the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster they found they could make metal objects stick to their bodies.

Leonid can hold objects weighing up to 50lb on his chest.

Doctors in Russia and Japan appear to have been convinced that the Tenkaevs’ abilities are genuine.

In 1991 an impressed Dr Atusi Kono told reporters: “There is absolutely no doubt that the objects stick as if their bodies were magnetic.”
A year earlier the Superfields conference in Sofia, Bulgaria, attracted 300 such “human magnets” after a young woman, Marinela Brankova, demonstrated her powers on television by supporting a 15lb weight from her vertical palms.

One Bulgarian woman, Victoria Petrova, even entertained delegates by making objects move about her body in time to music.

But so far Aurel has been less keen on the limelight and says he has avoided talking too much to people about his unusual gift.

He adds: “I have only told my close friends about it and they are amazed when I demonstrate it.

“So far I have not looked for a professional to explain my gift to. I am a bit scared by the reactions it might provoke.

“I worried about this for many years but now I have decided to bite the bullet and exploit my gift.

“Maybe it would be interesting to go on television shows or to have my magnetism researched by scientists.”

But Aurel would have to see any boffins in person.

He explains: “I can’t use a mobile phone too easily — it tends to stick to my head!”
