Life Imitates a Bad Samuel L. Jackson Movie?

95 snakes found in burst bag at Malaysia airport
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — A Malaysian man pleaded guilty to wildlife smuggling after his bag bursting with 95 live boa constrictors broke open on a luggage conveyer belt at Kuala Lumpur International Airport, an official said Friday.

Keng Liang "Anson" Wong, 52, who was previously convicted of wildlife trafficking in the United States, was charged Wednesday in a district court with exporting the endangered boas without a permit, said Shamsuddin Osman, an official with Malaysia's wildlife department.

95 freakin' boa constrictors in a bag going onto an airplane? Where have we heard that premise before? Hmmm... Yeah, yeah, they're not poisonous snakes, so the comparison isn't perfect, but still. I can't think of much that would make air travel less pleasant than a bag filled with angry boa constrictors opening up mid-flight.

Of course, they might get sued by the ROAA (Reptile and Ophiology Association of America) for copyright infringement...

That is all.
