Realest Deal: 18ft Python Killed In Florida (Pics)

A Miami man briefly wrestled with and ultimately used a knife to kill a Burmese python measuring 18 feet, 8 inches. That sets a state record for pythons captured or killed in the wild. The previous record measured 17 feet, 7 inches. Jason Leon was not hunting pythons but, while driving late at night recently in southeast Miami-Dade County, he and a friend spotted about 3 feet of snake protruding from the brush. Leon applied the brakes, climbed out of the car, grabbed the visible portion of the snake, and began hauling it onto the road. The giant constrictor responded by trying to wrap its body around one of Leon’s legs, but he was able to dispatch the reptile with a knife. Burmese pythons are native to grassy marshes of Southeast Asia and can grow to about 23 feet and weigh up to about 200 pounds. In Florida, where they’ve been released as pets and escaped from wildlife facilities, there are thousands of them, mostly within the Everglades ecosystem. As such a large and voracious invasive species, they’re a threat to native wildlife. The state would like to eradicate them, if that were possible. Leon, meanwhile, is being praised. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission issued a news release, in which exotic species specialist Kristen Sommers stated: “The FWC is grateful to him for both safety removing such a large Burmese python and for reporting its capture…With the help of people like Mr. Leon and our ongoing partnerships with other agencies, the FWC is advancing what we know about Burmese pythons in Florida.” Leon, who said he once owned Burmese pythons and has experience handling the nonpoisonous snakes, reported the capture via a hotline used for reporting exotic species. The python was delivered to the University of Florida’s Fort Lauderdale Research and Education Center where it was measured and a necropsy was performed.

Breaking: In Port-Harcourt, Multi-billion Naira ‘Odili Bridge’ Collapses.

The Bridge constructed by the former governor leaves Rivers State in heavy traffic. Thousands of commuters in Port Harcourt, Rivers state, endured a second day of horrendous traffic gridlock after a barely seven-year old overpass, constructed by the administration of indicted former governor, Peter Odili, caved in on Sunday. Cars tailed into several kilometers, around the Aba road expressway area, on Monday snaking their ways through mandatory diversions occasioned by the collapse of the Airforce junction bridge. There were no reports of casualties, residents of the city said on Monday. But the failed facility immediately sparked calls for the arrest of the builders, Bulletin Construction Company, and rekindled a national outrage that has haunted Mr. Odili’s post-office life, years after he was indicted for fraud by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

Cry Baby 'Moanrihno' Gets Served The Humble Pie On A Sack Plate- Barca Fan.

Monday evening it was, the birthday of club darling and Spain's captain, Iker Casilas; the President of Real Madrid CF at a press conference announced the parting of ways with erstwhile coach Jose Mourhino after his 3 year stint with the club.

One thing is clear, In football a coach is as good as his most recent result. Thats why Mancini was sacked and not evaluated based on winning the league and FA cup in prior season.

This season Mourinho finished 13points behind
league leaders and trophyless too.

From me to him, I'll say let him go back to the EPL where he can boss them around and tag him the special one. In Spain it would be remembered how he was humiliated and whining how they dont love him. The biggest loss of his career was in Spain. First home loss of his career was in Spain.

Its only chelsea fans that believes he is a special
one! Special my foot! He's just an arrogant manager that manages to inflict supporters of any club he goes to with arrogance! He did it with chelsea, and then transferred it to madrid, turning the beautiful El-classico to a game of wrestling, karate and takwaendo!

I'm glad he succeeded in soiling his record at
madrid and been forced to eat the humble pie.
I pity for chelsea. He's going to spoil the beautiful
football they've adopted for some time now, moving cohesively with the ball, building an attack and troubling the defense. Now, its going to be a kick- and-follow pattern which is only going to favor Essien, Lampard and Mikel; I pity the likes of Hazard, Mata and Oscar that moves with the ball. And for Torres, you're gone! Ba is likely to adopt to Jose's style than Torres.

Mourinho made El Classico lose its class and turned it to a diving and fighting match unlike the spectacle we are used to seeing.

Some might argue and disagree that he failed at Madrid. He is just a perfect example of an ideal coach who take technical decisons with considering any player or group of players too big. It's a pity that Barca are already declining this time and that might be the only safing grace for Madrid next season and beyond. Not many coach could challenge the brilliance and wide popularity of Barca like Mou.

If he had not choosen to be petty and pick issues
with every body from the media to his key players, fans and finally employers maybe he would have had some sucess. I think arrogance will be his undoing in life.

Mourinho was fully loaded with cash (far more than 15 La Liga teams budgets put together) to shop for the best of players, yet he could only struggle to win 2 major domesric cups and 1 minor one! It is now crystal clear that Premiership is inferior to La Liga by all standard! Mourinho must have learnt one thing bitterly - don't mess with Spanish Press or you get messed up! Del Bosque achieved more than Mourinho with a less star-studded squad between 2000-2002!

What I have come to discover.

You need to make time for that special person in your life, in your private life. Intimacy and affection are so important.
