Facts+ figures Snakes ’n’ shudders 5m python A couple visiting Kruger National Park in South Africa had a bit of a fright when a 5m python slithered into their car. The pair lifted the bonnet of the vehicle to reveal the mammoth reptile had made itself at home. It was eventually removed by a park ranger with a big stick. “That doesn’t happen every day, eh?” the ranger said to console the duo. Not on your nelly 200 metres Two elephants from a travelling circus recently escaped into Copenhagen and found themselves strolling along a road packed with rush hour traffic. Sonia and Vana Mana made a 200-metre dash through the busy streets until their owner caught up with them. Police blocked the road so the humongous mammals could return home unhurt. “They were walking past the morning traffic trunk-to-tail,” said one policeman. 26 Holland Herald “Human beings are the only creatures on earth that allow their children to come back home” Gangster paradise 50m pile Former convict Nikolai Sutyagin began building his wooden skyscraper in Arkhangelsk, Russia, with the intention of it being only a two-storey building. The abode grew after he saw pictures of wooden houses in Japan and Norway. “First I added three floors but then the house looked ungainly, like a mushroom,” he said. “So I added another and it still didn’t look right so I kept going. What you see today is a happy accident,” he said of the 13-storey, 50m tall home. Bog standards 420sqm toilet Bill Cosby HOME Korean Sim Jae-Duck was born in a lavatory. He has gone on to form the World Toilet Association, a campaign for more sanitary restrooms worldwide. He even lives in a 420sqm, $1.6 million toilet-shaped house in Suwon, south of Seoul, built with a ‘showcase loo’ that produces mist to make users feel more secure.
