This is no Hulk Hogan I'm talking about here, brother.



quote:

Pekanbaru (Indonesia) (AFP) – A giant python attacked an Indonesian man, nearly severing his arm, before hungry villagers chopped up the reptile and ate it, a police chief said Wednesday.

Security guard Robert Nababan crossed paths with the giant creature while patrolling an oil palm plantation in the remote Batang Gansal subdistrict of Sumatra island on Saturday.


quote:

“The python was 7.8 metres long (25.6 feet), it was unbelievably huge,” local police chief Sutarja, who like many Indonesians only has one name, told AFP.

Sutarja said the 37-year-old Nababan, who sometimes liked to eat snake, tried to catch the giant python and stuff it in a gunny sack.

But the huge serpent fought back and bit him on his left arm, nearly severing it from his body.

Nababan was then rushed to a hospital in a neighbouring town for treatment.

What kind of sack was he trying to stuff that thing in? Snakes don't bother me but I'm damn sure not trying to stuff that thing in a sack.

This is how you discipline animals who get too big for their britches.

How big was his sack? It must have been huge to be trying to catch a 26 ft snake

I don't know what I'd do if I saw a 25' snake. 25' fricking feet. I'd probably just stand there and cry until it ate me.

The man who tried to catch him was known as Indonesian Claus.

Only on TD does someone post a story from Indonesia and we get a "that happened right down the road from me" reply.
