So kiss the world goodbye! Snakes are making it out alive…ON PLANES!

Again, Samuel L. Jackson has been slacking off, because an Egyptian plane is the latest aircraft to fall victim to monkey-fighting snakes on Monday to Friday planes.

But this time, the snake's OWNER tried to sneak his serpent on board!

Australians are tired of these monkey fighting snakes on this Monday to Friday plane!

A flight leaving Darwin got a slight and slithery intruder in the cockpit. A snake was chillaxing on the radio control button of the plane.

Pilot Braden Blennerhassett knew what he had to do….

Call Samuel L. Jackson air traffic control.

Blennerhassett landed the plane back in Darwin and told the controllers about his stick situation. He says the following on the matter:

turned [the plane] around and got it headed back towards Darwin there and said, 'Look, you're not going to believe this. I've got snakes on a plane.'

The controllers didn't believe him…until it was too late he asked for a snake handler.

The wranglers boarded the freight plane but by then, the snake had disappeared! Luckily, the handlers were able to find the snake days later.

The coast is clear…for now!

WooHoo!! We LOVE the Earth!!

Simulating the way leaves harness the energy of the sun, scientists have a discovered a way to use "artificial leaf technology" to possibly powers ships and planes…. and even cars!!!

According to Professor Richard Cogdell:

What you need is to be able to lock that energy up in some sort of storage fluid that’s available on demand, and that’s what fuel is. To really sustain our way of life after the oil runs out we have to be able to make, renewably and sustainably, dense portable fuels for transport, especially for aeroplanes and ships. We’re looking at photosynthesis to see whether we can learn to copy it in a more robust and efficient way. What we’ve realised in just the last couple of months is that we should be able to use electricity to power these reactions. I would be very disappointed if this wasn’t working in the real world in 30 years time.

Uhm, ya!!

We'd be totes disappointed too!!

Oil is soooo last century!! Time to be smart about the way we use our energy!!!
