Snakes on a plane... literally

I was just browsing through when I saw... 4 Baby Pythons escape from a passenger container in Melbourne, Austrailia. While they were one the pllane. This snakes are novenomous and are about 6 inches... for now! (evil cackle) These snakes have not been found (dramatic pause) if you are in austrailia, sleep with your eyes open. (Dramatic music) and in other news.

Number one on the list of America's Scariest roads... drum roll please... HIGHWAY 1 (hey go figure highway one got number one) Big Sur, California. With two lanes inbetween Monterey and Morro bay. If you did fall off Bixbey bridge you'd be looking into "liquid oblivion."

In sports, We're taking a look at all of the sta athletes who lost money... big time. The top 5 were:
1. Mike Tyson (from tyson's chicken?)
2. Latrell Sprewell
3. Michael Vick
4. O.J Simposon (yes now we use his intitals as short for orange juice. poor guy)
5. Bjorn Borg (never heard of him)

And legendary NFL coach John Madden is calling it quits, ending his broadcating career. Personally legendary is a understatement.

Burger King famous for the wonderful slogan, "Have it your way" is withdrawing their ad after complaints from Mexican ambassador. Sorry padre.

In international news... the founder of Thailand's yellow shirt movement that shut down airports last year, was attacked by gunmen. He was shot and wounded. The government when informed, then quickly tightened security around prime minister Abhisit Vejjajjiva.

In South Korea: Military jets were rumored to have been seen in skies. Whether South Korea, is getting involved seriously in this crazy ordeal, no "real" statement has been released. But many people are wondering how to punish North Korea, for breaking the "deal." The sleeping dragon (China) and Russia did not agree to this "punishment" of North Korea. What did you expect? Communist got to stick together.

In business: With huge losses from food poisoning recalls just a little oversight from the FDA. An aggrement was made and it's called the Leafy Green Products Handler Marketing Agreement. Since the FDA's 1,000 something inspectors aren't doing their jobs, inspecting for hours whether the water is chlorinated enough to kill germs, or checking for animal tracks, it now has to pay the state money so that auditors can inspect the farm fields for safety.

In Japan: Youngin's are going back to the farm! Yee-haw! Many who have degrees in computer sciences and management, and even landscaping are being let go. There is a government program that let's young japanese go to farms and learn... well how to farm. The squad is even called -Inaka-de-hatarakitai- which means "We want to work in the country side!" Japanese exports fell about 50-percent in February.

“Young people want jobs, and farmers need the extra hands,” said Isao Muneta, an agriculture ministry official who coordinates the 1.3 billion yen ($13 million) program, which is part of a larger stimulus package. “It’s the perfect match.” But the problem is there isn't enough farming jobs. Farmers just can't afford any extra help even when it's needed. The ones who do find work get about 7,000 yen, or like $70 a day. That's 208,501.86 JPY. $2,100 a month. Some agriculture jobs pay less than $1,500 a month. But these youngins who were raised taught not to waste a single grain of rice. Will make it out strong.
