Snake dies of silicone poisoning after biting model’s breast implant

Brothas, be very careful not to bite into your girl’s breast implants during rough sex or foreplay: they’re poisonous!
In weird news from around the world: a trained boa constrictor took ill and died of silicone poisoning hours after biting into a model’s breast implant.
The incident occurred during a photo shoot in Tel Aviv, Israel. The model, Orit Fox, was instructed to pose seductively with the snake as it slithered around her scantily-clad body.
According to London’s Daily Mail tabloid, the snake took offense when Fox began kissing and licking it. The snake latched onto her left breast and sunk its fangs deep into it.
She let out a high-pitched scream, as did a voice off camera who appeared to be directing the shoot.
An assistant rushed in to help her pull the snake off and after a few seconds of struggle the creature released its grip.
The peroxide-blonde model was rushed to a nearby hospital and given a tetanus shot.
However, the snake wasn’t so lucky and died from silicone poisoning

Grunsah Warns Essien over the father's issue.

Michael Essien, football (soccer) player

KING FAISAL Founder Alhaji Abdul Karim Grunsah has sternly cautioned Ghana and Chelsea star Michael Essien over the father's issue which is now the major topic in town.

Essien's dad recently told the Chelsea player to desist from using his name 'Essien' because he is allegedly not taking care of him.

Alhaji Grunsah said he is not happy about the Essien-and-dad issue which is always in the media.

He warned the Chelsea player to try and resolve the issue once and for all in his own interest.

Alhaji Grunsah, who is a staunch Muslim, said it is not good for a person and his dad to be washing their dirty linen in public, urging the Ghanaian player to learn from Samuel Eto'o of Cameroon by being humble and respectful to the elderly.

Alhaji Grunsah also praised former Ghana star player Samuel Osei Kufuor for taking good care of his dad though it was the mother who raised him.
