A nearly 5-foot python slithered through a drain and bit an Austrian man in his “genital area” while he was on the toilet on Monday.

The 65-year-old man in Graz was minding his own business while doing his business when he felt a “pinch” from the snake that came up through the toilet’s plumbing, police said.

The reptile was said to have escaped from a neighbor. It was returned to its owner — after it was cleaned.

Big Jake, the world’s tallest horse, has died at age 20.

The 6-foot-10 horse, who lived in Poynette, Wis., was certified as the world’s tallest by the Guinness Book of World Records in 2010. He weighed 240 pounds at birth and 2,500 by the time of his death in June.

When US troops gave up their base in Bagram, Afghanista­n, they reportedly left behind tons of digital “Pocket Monsters” from the game Pokémon GO.

A man returned books to a Massachuse­tts library that were a century overdue.

An Indian journalist and an activist have been jailed for more than a month for writing on social media that cow poop and urine don’t cure COVID-19, reports said.
