Python eats drunk guy in india

2013 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

A drunk man in India was taking a well-deserved nap outside a liquor store today, when he was discovered by a huge python. Unfortunately it was just around lunch time for the large snake, that smothered and ate him. The incident happened in the Attapadi area in the state Kerala.

Definitely Toss: Other
Some problems with this: If an animal picks a sleeping target, it's not the target's fault, therefore no self-selection. Plus a quick Google search shows that there is some dispute about this story being a hoax. Thanks anyway, John. The largest python ever recorded was still only large enough to eat a small child, and one of the closest-to-being-documented cases involved a child of four or five. There was a little uncertainty on the part of the recorder because he didn't see the event, just the number of children decreased by one and the special *big* snake of the village being full when it hadn't been officially fed.

As Candi said. Even if this isn't a hoax then at most it's a case of lousy luck and not blatant stupidity on the part of the victim (unless there was a sign there warning people that they might get eaten by pythons if they fall asleep there...). Thanks just the same, John.
