Python Eats Passed Out Drunk Guy In India


A Python ate a person who was drunk and lying beside the liquor shop. News from Attapady, Kerala.

Note to self: Do not get drunk and pass out outside in India. I have been incredibly drunk in my checkered past, and I have done some things I am not proud of, including passing out cold in some strange places for lengthy amounts of time. However, I am sure that I would wake up from my drunken slumber if a python was trying to eat me, and I think I would be able to escape his deadly coils. That’s just because I am self confident. Pythons are constrictors, so it is likely that the snake came across the passed out man and could tell that he was still alive, since pythons can sense heat. The snake then constricted the man, and began to suffocate him while he was passed out, so if the man woke up and realized what was going on it was already too late. Rest in peace, drunk guy, at least your senses were dulled with alcohol when you met your untimely inebriated end.

If you take one life lesson from the post, let it be “never pass out drunk in an area where human could be on the menu.”

Appears I'm correct:

'Python Eats Drunk Guy in India' Story Is a Hoax

By David Emery November 28, 2013



Depending on which version of the story you read, the overstuffed python above swallowed a drunk guy in India, an unknown woman in South Africa, an unknown man in Qujing, China, a person of unknown gender in Indonesia, or a 4-year-old child in Malaysia.

All of the above can't be simultaneously true, obviously. The photo, which I've not yet been able to trace to a definitive source, has been circulating online for at least two years and more likely than not documents a python digesting a goat or a deer.

Thanks, I suspected as much but it still made a good story.

Somebody got his stories confused. It was actually Monty Python...
