It has finally become a reality. It is about damn time, I say!

CAIRO, Egypt (AP) - A real snakes-on-a-plane incident was thwarted by customs officers at Cairo's airport on Thursday.

The officers detained an Egyptian man who was trying to smuggle 700 live snakes on a plane to Saudi Arabia. The slithery stowaways were discovered in a carry-on bag after officers asked the man to open it. He told them the bag contained live snakes and warned them to stay back.

Among the various snakes hidden in small cloth sacks were two poisonous cobras, authorities said.

The Egyptian, identified as Yahia Rahim Tulba, said he had hoped to sell the snakes in Saudi Arabia.

Police confiscated the snakes and turned Tulba over to the prosecutor's office, accusing him of violating export laws and endangering the lives of other passengers.

Tulba said the snakes are wanted by Saudis who display them in glass jars in shops, keep them as pets or sell them to research centres.

The value of the snakes was not immediately known.

How did the guy expect to get away with this, seriously? With 700 snakes, it must be one LARGE bag.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Eew that's too gross!
Never mind the laugh factor. I know I wouldn't want an accident to happen with those things stowed away somewhere, not even with a mongoose on board

There's nowhere I can't reach.

It's obvious; he had Mary Poppin's handbag. There's no way you could fit 700 snakes in hand luggage.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Is he really that stupid to think that he wouldn't get caught with 700 snakes?

I'm sure security would've have heard the hissing sound or see the mysterious lumps in the bag moving around.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

He must've been on some shit to think he could get away with that. I wonder what his gameplan was?

FELIPE NO

Okay buddy, I deleted it the first time but I'll just go ahead and clue you in now since you couldn't get the hint. Try to avoid posting that way, but NEVER do it when you're bumping a week old thread. Please. No one wants to load a page on a practically dead thread to just read that shit.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

700 snakes? How would you FIND that many in the first place. Wonder how long that took him to find that many.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Maybe he was planning on selling it as at a weapon of mass yuckiness - the world's fiirst snake bomb to use on all the ophidiophobes out there. There's no better way to create fear among people than to realease 700 of those little bastards in a busy public area.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I've actually read about people taking snakes across the border to sell. Just, you know, never on a plane. I imagine if there were seven hundred in his bag, they couldn't have been full grown, probably younger. But still, that's a shitload of snake. O.o
