Snake with foot found in China

Snake with foot found in China



Dean Qiongxiu, 66, said she discovered the reptile clinging to the wall of her bedroom with its talons in the middle of the night.



"I woke up and heard a strange scratching sound. I turned on the light and saw this monster working its way along the wall using his claw," said Mrs Duan of Suining, southwest China.



Mrs Duan said she was so scared she grabbed a shoe and beat the snake to death before preserving its body in a bottle of alcohol.



The snake – 16 inches long and the thickness of a little finger – is now being studied at the Life Sciences Department at China's West Normal University in Nanchang.



Snake expert Long Shuai said: "It is truly shocking but we won't know the cause until we've conducted an autopsy."



A more common mutation among snakes is the growth of a second head, which occurs in a similar way to the formation of Siamese twins in humans.



Such animals are often caught and preserved as lucky tokens but have very little chance of surviving in the wild anyway, especially as the heads have a tendency to attack each other.

The Hardcore Nuclear-Waste Containers That Can Stand up to Airplane Crashes

Near the Indian Point nuclear power plant, about 35 miles north of New York City, stand two rows of 20-foot-high, 180-ton concrete cylinders. Each drum, known as a dry cask, houses especially unwanted cargo: spent nuclear fuel.



The dry cask was introduced in the 1980s as a temporary solution to the nuclear industry’s growing waste problem. Today it remains the nation’s best and only longish-term storage option. (The casks are designed to last 100 years.) There are about 1,300 dry casks at 55 sites nationwide; however, most of the radioactive waste generated in the United States sits in cooling pools similar to Japan’s. If the pool leaks or the cooling system breaks, as happened in Japan, the nuclear fuel rods could become exposed and release radioactive gas.

Dry casks offer a safer alternative, but transferring the waste into the casks is tricky work. After the fuel rods cool off in pools for five years, workers use a robotic arm to place them in 10-inch-thick steel canisters. These are vacuum-sealed to remove air and water, filled with an inert gas such as helium to prevent corrosion, and welded shut. For good measure, each canister is then placed inside a three-foot-thick concrete barrel with small vents to keep its contents cool.



The heavy-duty engineering also doubles as a security feature. “We’ve commissioned studies looking at the possibility of airplanes’ knocking casks over like bowling pins,” says Nuclear Regulatory Commission spokesman David McIntyre. While the details are classified, he reports that the drums held up very well.

The letters are dug so deep that they form an artificial waterway when filled with seawater. As a member of the ruling family of the oil-rich nation, Hamad is used to living it large. He built a pyramid to house 200 of his personal cars. He also built the worlds largest truck, large enough to build four bedrooms in the cabin. Oh yes, and he has a motor home shaped like the Earth, exactly one-millionth the size of the Earth.

Needless to say, Hamad didnt dig this latest extravagance by himself with a bucket and spade. He had some help from a team of his workmen who took weeks to complete the endeavor. Theres no word on how much it cost to dig.
