3-legged dog digs up baby buried in Thailand field of screams

Ban Nong Kham, Bangkok -- A three-legged dog dug up a newborn baby boy who was buried in a field in Thailand after the infant's 15-year-old mother buried her baby alive.

Usa Nisaikha, 41, is a farmer from the village and noticed his dog Ping Pong,was barking and digging in the field. When he went to see what was going on, Usa Nisaikha [his friends call him "USA all the way"] found that a baby's leg was sticking out of the ground, according to the BBC.

Nisaikha and other villagers took the baby to the hospital where doctors pronounced him healthy after cleaning him up. The baby’s mother will be charged with child abandonment and attempted murder, according to the BBC. The mother’s family has taken the child in and plans to raise him.

Chum Phuang district chief Pairat Witayanumat told the Bangkok Post that the girl did not want to actually kill the child but buried the baby in an attempt to hide her pregnancy from her parents.

Police were able to identify her by noticing that she had recently bought a large number of sanitary pads, the Bangkok Post reports.

“The girl is now in the care of a psychologist and her parents because she is in great fear. She regrets what she did and said she acted on impulse without thinking it through. She feared her parents would find out she had been pregnant,” Police officer Panuwat Puttakam told the Bangkok Post.

Hey, she's 15--her brain isn't yet fully developed. Give her a break.

Ping Pong the dog lost one of his legs after being hit by a car, the dog’s owner says. “I kept him because he’s so loyal and obedient, and always helps me out when I go to the fields to tend to my cattle,” Ping Pong’s owner said, according to the Khaosod Newspaper. “He’s loved by the entire village. It’s amazing.”

The other three-legged dog in the village also has mange and a respiratory illness that causes it to have a chronic cough. It is also severely underweight due to the fact that it has no teeth and is blind in one eye with a chronic mucous secretion in the other eye. It goes by the name of "Lucky."

And the Darwin award goes to ...

Bangkok -- A low information French tourist was unaware that crocodiles can be dangerous. She likely never saw the old "Peter Pan" flick with the song 'Never Smile at a Crocodile.' The song clearly says "No, you can't get friendly with a crocodile."

But did this French tourist care?

The woman tried to have her picture taken with a crocodile in Thailand but she got too close to the lizard-brain creature and it snapped at her, severely wounding her leg.

The woman, who lived thus far to make it to her 40s, suffered the bite Sunday at the Khao Yai National Park, Thanya Netithammakul, head of the National Park, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Department said.

She had squatted next to the crocodile, posed for a photo, but tipped over and the animal snapped. 

The lunacy happened in the Haew Suwat waterfall area where the woman was later planning to dive into the water below while having the dive captured on video.

There are signs warning visitors about the crocodiles and tourists are told to keep to the nature trails, but evidently the woman didn't heed the warnings.

She is expected to make a full recovery and plans to take that waterfall dive come hell or high water.

Speaking of which, the water below is home to dozens of crocodiles.

Snake in a toilet latches on to man's "brave soldier"

It should be quite obvious to anyone with a healthy imagination that our absolutely worst nightmare has to be "the snake in the toilet" fear. 

Well okay, maybe not every person, but I had that fear as a kid once I learned how primal and mean snakes tend to be, but it never came to realization as it so happened that I grew up in New York City and we had a snake shortage there.

When I was a young twenty-something, single guy I had a neighbor, Richie--a strange guy who came from a long line of circus performers.

Richie prided himself on being a herpetologist. I thought herpetology had to do with the study of herpes, but later found out that I was mistaken--it's the study of reptiles. 

Richie had two enormous snakes in a fish tank and would feed them little "pinky mice" for dinner. One, he said, was dangerous and he'd never let him out of the tank; the other, not as much.

You might have guessed, Richie had no girlfriend (nor even a boyfriend). People don't particularly enjoy hanging around with folks who hang around a fish tank watching their pet snake slowly devour a poor little mouse. It just seems evil.

Richie lived alone, on the other side of a too-thin wall, barely keeping his snakes from getting to me.

So when I read the Fox News story on the guy in Bangkok who found a peed on python hanging onto his plumbing after slithering through the house plumbing, I found myself understanding Chris Matthews' claim to having tingles running down my leg, only these were fear tingles, not Obama tingles.

Attaporn (Bangkokian for Porn flour) Boonmakchuay, a man who didn't know how to spell his name until he turned 27, is recovering from a bloody and pant-load-inspiring encounter with a 10-foot-python. That's how long it was, not how many feet it had.

The critter must have been spending a relaxing day sunning in the local cess pool when it discovered where the cess was coming from. Being a curious viper it slithered into the pipe that connected to the plumbing that went into the toilet where Attaporn was doing whatever a guy with a name like Attaporn does on a toilet in Bangkok.

He was doing "whatever" over a "squat toilet" when the snake latched its jaws onto Attaporn's penis and wouldn't let go.

He had a big smile on his face when Thai TV interviewed him in his hospital bed after the unwanted oral encounter. The doctors said that he will recover, but photos of his blood-splattered bathroom in Chachoengsao province (where it generally takes 27 years for residents there to learn the correct spelling of the name) testify to the horror of the ordeal.

The 38-year-old told the media that he struggled to remove the snake from his member for 30 minutes before he managed to get free with the help of his wife and curious neighbor who minds everybody's business.

After the snake's jaws were finally pried open, Attaporn passed out and the snake slithered back to the cess pool with a guilty look upon its reptilian face.

Bill Clinton said that "if that damned snake knew how to cook, I'd marry it."
