There's nothing sadder than a burned-out Interweb meme.

Seriously, people. It was funny two years ago when we all first heard about it. IÂ’ll cop to getting totally hammered with oyaji and TangledUpInBlue and going to see Snakes on a Plane on opening night in Times Square. Had a blast. But letÂ’s be honest: the movie was doomed by all of the anticipation. It was a decent little flick, but there was no way it could live up to the year-plus-long hype. Seeing as how everyone was already over it by the time it opened, it's little wonder that it only did $34 million domestic. Peanuts for a summer blockbuster with that kind of buzz.

So when I heard about the following story, I couldnÂ’t help thinking that it was soooooooooo last year.

Customs officers at Cairo's airport on Thursday detained a man bound for Saudi Arabia who was trying to smuggle 700 live snakes on a plane, airport authorities said.

The officers were stunned when a passenger, identified as Yahia Rahim Tulba, told them his carry-on bag contained live snakes after he was asked to open it.

Tulba opened his bag to show the snakes to the police and asked the officers, who held a safe distance, not to come close. Among the various snakes, hidden in small cloth sacks, were two poisonous cobras, authorities said.

The Egyptian 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.


Thank god they caught him before he actually got on the plane. It might have brought us closer to a even-more-played-out sequel. Perish the thought.

Nope - that'd be venomous cobras.. Not 'poisionous' ones...

I wish that I was poisonous (or venomous). Not all the time, just when I want to be. You know . . . if you touch me you'll die of poison related illnesses. Then I could make a movie: "Me On a Plane". It would have Morgan Freeman instead of Samuel L. though.

Forget snakes on a plane.

How about spiders on a train?

Or scorpions on a space shuttle?

Well, as someone who owns various snakes and reptiles as pets...it is quite comon for men at the airport to be arrested for smuggling live animals. This story is nothing new or different and is quite boring.
Ever hear about the man smuggling 100 turtles in his sleeping bag? The man with monitor lizards taped to his chest? The man with crocodiles in his carry-on? The animal smuggling trade is very active and alot more demented in depth than a guy admitting he had snakes he wanted to bring on the plane.

Mother-fucka! tongue

On my next plane ride I am going to smuggle prawns in my colon. Try and think about that one the next time you are at a Red Lobster All-You-Can-Eat-Shrimp event.

My dad's wife brought her collection of kitchen knives in her hand luggage coming here from Thailand- she'd never been on a plane before and saw them as symbol of luxury...
For some reason she also tried to take a set of normal metal cutlary on the return trip, despite the knives being confiscated first time round
