Snakes overrun police station in Sierra Leone 2009-06-12 08:45:18 Wacky News - blog profile

Does Sierra Leone ring a bell? If you guessed that it was a Spanish soap opera, then you are wrong and should have been paying attention in World Geography class.

Ah, who am I kidding, I doubt even World Geography teachers know where the hell that country is. Sierra Leone is a country in West Africa that is famous for a bloody civil war, um...being in the jungle and...um...did I already said they were in a bloody civil war?

I'm sorry to break it to everyone, especially any Sierra Leonians (try saying that 10 times in a hurry) hanging around this blog, but that country isn't particularly well known for anything productive.

Well that is about to change now, because they are about to make you laugh.

You see, the police force of a town close to Freetown, Sierra Leone is so darned bad that it can't protect itself. From what you ask?

not much - about 400 of these

They can't protect themselves from 400 highly venomous snakes. To be honest though, I'm sure New York City would become a ghost town if 400 Cobras went rampant there.

Soldiers and firefighters were called from the capital to attempt to flood out the snakes. I see one tiny little flaw with this brilliant plan: if they make the snakes run away, they will eventually head to the town and kill lots of people. Logic is great in small doses, huh?

But it's not like these guys don't know what they are doing, they have been called in before to kill wild bush cows goring innocent civilians. Did I mention that they also had rampaging elephants who killed eight people and chased 600 more away from their homes?

And you thought your life sucked.
