‘Snake in the grass’: Highly venomous intruder bizarrely delays AFLW game
Saturday’s AFLW game between GWS and Richmond was bizarrely held up due to a venomous snake intruding the ground.
https://www.news.com...4145838354c7752
Meh, it was only a red-belly black snake. Those will make you sick but not much more unless you have pre-existing conditions. Plus it was a baby.
The only baby snakes you have to be wary of here are baby Brown snakes because they have the same amount of venom as adults, but no control when they bite so they'll blow the whole load, so to speak.
The good thing about red-belly black snakes is apparently they'll keep most other snakes away.

Just saw this and couldn’t help but wonder how you would fart at will? Isn’t it usually the other way around?

People Are Eating Their Christmas Trees, and You Can Too
"The way that generally I cook with [Christmas trees] is to use the needles like an herb, in the same way that you might use rosemary," said UK baker and cook Julia Georgallis, author of How to Eat Your Christmas Tree[... The] book includes over 30 recipies that utilize different parts of the Christmas tree, from drinks to ice cream to "Christmas tree ash"—which is exactly what it sounds like.
"That's basically when you char the tree in your oven, so you blacken it and then blitz it down into a black powder, and that's actually really flavorful. It's very delicious — you just need a tiny bit of it — but it's quite chef-y," [...]
[...] More than 25-30 million Christmas trees are [wastefully!] disposed of each year. While [...] 30 recipes aren't going to save the world, she hopes her book can "start a conversation."

... and if you don't have a Christmas tree---or even if you do---you can offer to eat your neighbors'... or people you trust well enough not to drug their Christmas trees.
This might do a little bit more to help save the world:

Physicists Discover 'Quantum Embezzlement' Could Offer Infinite Source of Entanglement
[...] One type of change returns to a state that doesn't appear to be disturbed[...] Described as a kind of catalyst, this reversal allows for computing operations that wouldn't have been possible in cases where end states are altered.
[...] researchers at Leibniz University have now algebraically demonstrated that a combination of general relativity and quantum field theory can result in a bottomless pit of catalysts.
In theory, a relativistic quantum field could serve as an infinite resource of embezzlement, entangling with particles in ways that wouldn't alter their delicate states.
"Since the bank is in the same state before and after the embezzlement, that means that no one can detect it," [...] "It's the perfect crime."
[...] knowing infinite levels of entanglement could naturally be occurring in absolute nothingness could point the way to a whole criminal underworld of physics, where different classes of theft occur right under our noses.
