Not cool

Toilet snake attack: urban legend comes true?
Reuters (article excerpt) - May 11, 2009

A Taiwanese man became a sitting target for a snake, which bit his penis as sat on the toilet at his rural home, local media reported on Monday.

"As soon as he sat down, he suddenly felt a knife-like pain and reacted instinctively by standing up," the China Times said. "When he looked down, he saw the big snake."

The 51-year-old man, from Nantou County, was under medical care with minor injuries, a director at Puli Christian Hospital said.

Local television images showed the black and yellow reptile, reportedly a species of rat snake, being uncoiled and plucked slowly from the toilet bowl.

I remember this used to be a huge fear of mine and now it's actually happened?! There's only one other similar fear of mine that has me opening the toilet seat before sitting down, that is the scene in arachnophobia, Ryan I know you know what I'm talking about.
