–Life imitated art (well, bad movies, anyhow) in Melbourne, Australia when four six-inch baby pythons escaped from a container aboard a passenger plane, leading to a search that forced the cancellation of two flights.

There were twelve snakes in the original package, and a reptile expert searched for the missing four, but did not find them! It was unknown of the snakes were still on the plane, or escaped after the plane landed.  The airline (Qantas) fumigated the plane, and returned it to service.  Maybe this is why the koala in Qantas ads once said, “I hate Qantas!”

One can imagine that some folks in Melbourne checked out their toilets and looked under the beds thereafter…for many share the sentiments of Indiana Jones when he said, “I…hate…snakes!”
