This seems like as good a time as any to link to this Fray story about a huge tapeworm, complete with charming illustrations. It too features long living skinny slimy things in toilets.
That second article really annoyed me, for some reason. I think it was paragraph after paragraph consisting of only one sentence. Online newspapers do that a lot. I wonder why?
Oh, and I would be remiss if I didn't mention how cool it would be if this snake exploded ;)
If anyone flushed, the snake would get all torn up.
Though there are little worms that swim up your dickhole (if you've got one). Kinda reminds me of the sex scene in Smilla's Sense of Snow (the book), where Smilla fucks the handyman with her clit inside his dickhole.
Hey, at least it's a constrictor. It wouldn't bite your ass, and it probably wouldn't be able to get a good angle to wrap around you from down inside the bowl.
Still, the last thing you want to see when you go to take a piss is a reptilian face staring up at you.

Some developers were building some nice homes along the white river here in northwest Arkansas (nice homes which subsequently flooded when we had 8+ inches of rain in one day) and shortly after they were built a woman found a cottonmouth in her toilet. Which obviously could bite you on the ass AND kill you. Nice!
It's a bunny being cool by leaning against the wall, right? With its arms crossed? Being all James Dean? And this is your way of telling me that you think I'm cool? Right?
I'm seeing it now.
(And my repeated visits to this thread finally made me Turn Images Off.)
And by the way, I call bullshit on the python thing, if it makes you feel any better. Sure, some stuff can get through pipes, but that python is too damn big.
Sure, so we're all worried about the humans looking down and seeing a snake in the toilet? What about the poor snake? Imagine what he has to put up with - all that work wriggling through the pipes just to see. . . poor snakey-poo.
