'MR TEETH' FOUND PROTECTING MARIJUANA STASH

An alligator-like reptile named 'Mr Teeth' has been found protecting a stash of marijuana in California, in a scene reminiscent of Miami Vice.

When Alameda County Sheriff's deputies entered the Castro Valley home on Tuesday, they not only found 34 pounds of marijuana valued at an estimated $100,000 (£61,000), but also the 5-foot-long caiman inside a Plexiglas tank guarding it in a bedroom.

Caimans are usually found in the wetland regions of Central and South America. They are considered close relatives of alligators.

"We get guard dogs all the time when we search for grow houses and people stashing away all types of dope. But alligators? You just don't see that every day," Sgt. J.D. Nelson said.

The reptile's owner, Assif Mayar, was arrested on Tuesday and later charged with one count of possessing marijuana for sale. Mayar, 32, did not enter a plea during his arraignment in Alameda County Superior Court. He is being held in jail on $20,000 bail and is due back in court on Jan. 15.

He could also face citations from the California Fish and Game Commission, including possession of an exotic animal without a permit.

400-POUND FLORIDA WOMAN ARRESTED FOR NUDITY! [PHOTO]

Fort Lauderdale police arrested 52 year old Patricia McCollum. 

The 400 pound woman was found sitting NAKED on a bus stop bench. She’s charged with exposure of sexual organs in public. She told a judge during her court appearance last week that she’s homeless and was only attempting to change her clothes. She explained, "That's why I was changing my clothes on the bus bench. I don't have anywhere else to stay but bus benches." Police have reportedly warned the woman about this type of behavior in the past. Here’s an idea! Take her to a mental hospital, she has some serious issues!

SNAKE CLINGS TO PLANE WING ON AUSTRALIAN FLIGHT

Would you go on a flight knowing there is snake aboard? Okay, some people just did. See the video below.

SYDNEY (AP) — This snake on a plane had a turbulent flight.

Stunned Qantas Airways passengers watched out their windows as a large python clung to a plane's wing during a two-hour flight from Australia's northeastern city of Cairns to Papua New Guinea.

The 3-meter (10-foot) python fought to stay on the wing, pulling itself forward only to be pushed back by the frigid wind.

Passenger Robert Weber videotaped the struggle and told Australia's Fairfax Media that the wind whipping the snake against the side of the plane left a bloody smear.

The python managed to hang on until the plane landed in Port Moresby, but a Qantas spokesman said the creature was dead on arrival.

It was reminiscent of the 2006 Hollywood thriller "Snakes on a Plane."

BEFORE THE "ERASER" WAS INVENTED, BREAD WAS USED TO REMOVE PENCIL MARKS

Before the eraser was invented, you could use a rolled up piece of white bread (crusts cut off) to remove pencil marks (some artists still use bread to lighten charcoal or pastel marks).

Edward Naime, an English engineer, is credited with the invention of the eraser (1770). The story goes that he picked up a piece of rubber rather than the usual wad of bread and discovered its properties. Naime began selling rubber erasers, the first practical application of the substance, which gets its name from its ability to rub out pencil marks.

Rubber, like bread, was perishable and would go bad over time. Charles Goodyear's invention of the process of vulcanization (1839) led to widespread use of rubber. Erasers became commonplace.

In 1858, Hymen Lipman received a patent for attaching erasers to the ends of pencils, though the patent was later invalidated since it combined two products rather than invented a new one.
