Awesome.

A Kansas woman miss-handled her eight-foot-long pet python Tuesday causing the animal to bite her neck and hang on for dear life.

Some child that was "in the house at the time" (there's no explanation on why the kid was there so we're gonna assume he was kidnaped) witnessed the scene and called the cops.

According to the source, the authority fearing snake refused to let go until the police intervened.

"There's not too many guys or women who would grab it by the end of the mouth like that,"

said the town's observant Police Chief. Luckily, the snake has small teeth rather than sharp fangs, he said.

The snake was not wrapped around woman but she was reportedly "visibly upset" because she could not get it off her neck.

She was ordered to remove the snake from the home because it poses a risk to children there, he said. She received a misdemeanor citation for harboring the snake.

We hope the child is out of the house also.

AGAIN?!?!?!? Maybe they need to start giving people personality tests before they're allowed into this place!

Last we heard about this establishment, a woman was attacked in a ladies bathroom by a 16-year-old boy at a Murietta, CA Chuck E. Cheese.

This weekend, there was more violence at a Topeka, KS Chuck E. Cheese, where two groups of adults celebrating their childrens' b-days got into arguments that progressed into fighting.

According to Topeka police Capt. Bill Cochran, the fight started in the childrens' themed restaurant and made its way out into the parking lot.

Fortunately, police were able to break up the fight before anybody got seriously hurt. Adults were issued citations for "fighting and disorderly conduct."

We really can't understand what it is about Chuck E. Cheese that attracts so much trouble!

Even worse though, we can't understand the thought process of these adults who would put their children in harm's way by engaging in violence around them. It's upsetting and baffling to us.

Thoughts???

Wow!

Mumbasa, an African lion at the Brit Spaugh Zoo in Kansas, got a visit from the dentist after chomping down on his enclosure's fence and chipping an inch long tooth.

The lion was put to sleep on Monday morning and a team assisted a dentist while he gave the sleeping beast a root canal.

The procedure went according to plan and Mumbasa is resting up before he returns to his enclosure to greet visitors at the zoo.

50 pigs ran loose on a highway Monday after a truck carrying 720 overturned on the ramp from I-435 North to I-35 Northnear Kansas City, Missouri.

The driver was unharmed and none of the fleeing pigs or other drivers were injured, but unfortunately a few of the piggies died in the crash.

Check out the video (above) captured while roadside crews tried to catch all the squealing piggies and put them back in a truck.

We have a bad feeling these poor pigs were headed someplace where they will meet their untimely end anyway, so we kind of wish the pigs made it to ACTUAL safety.

We'll just pretend they were all being transferred to a really nice farm where they will live long and healthy lives.

Police Officers in Kansas City, Missouri pulled a car over at a routine traffic stop….and they found a three foot long alligator in the car!

Officials are not sure why the man had the gator in his car, but they called animal control immediately!!

OMG! This is ridiculous!

Kansas has been having some monetary problems recently and they are trying to deal with their $500 million revenue deficit.

PETA, thinking that they would lend a hand, offered to pay the state to erect an anti-fishing sign at Miami State Fishing Lake in Fontana. The group said it would then pay rent for the sign as long as the state left it up.

However, Kansas Governor, Mark Parkinson was not too keen on the idea. He said that the states budget issues will require more "substantial solutions."

Doesn't every little bit help??

Governor Parkinson's spokeswoman said that he "appreciates the long-standing history and tradition of fishing in Kansas."

So basically, rather than helping the deficit by not allowing fishing in one lake, the governor would rather sell off buildings.

Hmm…what do U think about this?

There are truly no words for this.

As if poor Constance McMillen hasn't been through enough with the deplorable and disgusting discrimination she's faced regarding her school prom, the Kansas-based Westboro Baptist Church announced that it plans on picketing her graduation!

The press release says:

“[We] will picket the graduation of Itawamba Agricultural High School to remind the parents, teachers and students of this nation that God said 'Thou shall not lie with mankind, as with womankind, it is abomination.' This generation has been raised to believe that they can live for the devil and still go to heaven, that God has no standards and the biggest lie of all – that God loves everyone.”

It truly saddens us to think that there are people in this world who could be capable of this kind of hatred and believe that is all in the name of a higher power.

Stay strong, Constance! You've already come this far!
