French lady finds python in pee-pipes
Full-size image: Link. A charming lady named Nadege Brunacci emailed a BB reader this account of having discovered a large snake in the sewage pipes inside her home. That BB reader (her ex-husband) forwarded it along to us, with her consent. I am not acquainted with the emailer or the python-finder, and have no way to fact-check, really -- so I'm not sure it's for reals.
I love Ms. Brunacci's email accent. But more than this, I do love the idea of boozily and accidentally urinating on a terrified seven-foot-long python who is trapped inside your toilet.
Ms. Brunacci explains:
i don't think you will ever hear a story like this ever the storie you are going to ...... for it; from me : monday night after 2...3.... beers i did need to go "pipi" did not put the light on .....i was in mi hom....got up and don't know whi look back in the toilette....this is what was in my toilette.i call laurent did think i was loco a "snake in the toilette"?????? it is time to stop drinking but thank he did see it we both panic for 10 minutes and whent back to the toilette (we did put evry things on top of the cover before) he his on his way togo back in the sistem .... we flashhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh until is no moore tail to see, closed back the top whith all the stuff on top and call evry one landlord,police,animal control,evry one..... no one belevde me????? i know the crazy french!!!!!!!!!!!

It's 4 AM. Have you done pipi on your python yet?
boy does it suck when you recall the police and they do nada want to dill with you.
"is this the python who swallowed pepe le pew?" actuooly, it's reminding me of the southpark episode about bono and the giant poo
BTW: your password recovery system is le suxxor - how bout some sort of password recovery prompt, like "name of first pet" or whatever?
Nadege: "Is that a python in my pipes or is my house just happy to see me?"
I am perplexed at the use of the words "loco" or "nada." Not very French.
This story couldn't sound more fake. The charming 'typed accent' and the classic urban myth seems like too good a combination to be true.
This is sooo bizarre; on Sunday a friend was telling me about her lifelong fear of snakes coming out of her toilet!! What are the odds!

Snake in the bog! There's a mthrfckng snake in the mthrfckng bog!
Here's another scaly tale from over a decade ago: a guy in Singapore got bitten in the goolies by a python while sitting on the pot (scroll down to Once bitten, twice shy).
Wow, the french are using Python even on pee-pipes! I'm sure Java never gone that far. Now that is what I call a portable piece of software. Yet another use case for http://www.python.org/about/success/ ...
Wait, you mean the snake, not the Programming Language - I often forget about this bizarre "real" world...
LOL: Read the email with the crazy-medieval-castle-guard-frenchman accent from Monty Python and the Holy Grail :)
Once found a bat (!!) in the potty at college. Waaaaay early in the morning, so had to look twice to make sure that's what it was. Called security people ('cause no one else was around), and they solved it. By flushing. Must've been a small bat, huh?
Wow! That python must have taken a lot of shit!
"...an agreeable pet boa constrictor that earns the affection and gratitude of a French village...."
It's Crictor!
Did this happen in New York City? Not as amusing as it would be if it had happened in FRANCE! You don't have to post this, just tell me, lay it on the line, I can take it, it happened in NYC didn't it.
This is the stuff memes are made of.
Bats will fly into a toilet to get a drink. FYI. Pretty common.
The python is hunting rats, that's why he's there. In the 90's my parents spent three years in China teaching ESL (English as a second language) and they had rats come into their home through the toilets. So much so that they put a brick on the lid to keep them out. So I imagine a sort of ecosystem develops where the rats are looking for food and the snakes eat the rats.
The quality of your sewage system might be a leading economic indicator. I bet China's is better by now.
This actually happened to my dad in Italy - opened the toilet seat to find a great big grass snake in there. It turned out that the sewage pipe in the garden was cracked and the snake had got in and worked it's way back up the S bend! Disconcerting!
