Although there are many creatures in and around the city of Melbourne, it is rare to see any creatures while enjoying a burger and fries from McDonald’s, but it’s an experience many people had last week at the restaurant. Two men have decided to offer an entertaining show and pulled out a five-foot python named Boris in the parking lot and started wrestling.
Needless to say that visitors to the restaurant were a little shocked by what they saw to the point where they notified the authorities, who rushed to the scene and arrested the two men, aged between 22 and 24. By arresting the two men, police realized that the python had been stolen from a local pet store the day before and then decided that the parking lot of McDonald’s was best to put on their show.
Apparently, it is believed that the men also stole a lizard in the robbery which occurred at the Totally Reptiles Pet Store on the same day, but the lizard has not yet been recovered. And while the owner remains concerned about the lizard he is relieved to have Boris back safe and sound. The black python was a little cold and worn out from his ordeal, appears to be unharmed and is recovering well back in the pet store.
Black headed pythons like Boris are native to Northern Australia and are not venomous; fortunately they only bite when they are hunting their prey. The men who stole him and the restaurant …

Moving into a new home can be a very stressful time, especially since you have so many factors to consider when looking through apartment rentals. In your search for the best home, there are a few key things that you should concentrate on. Try to have a realistic grasp on your budget limitations. Think about what city and neighborhoods you would consider moving into. Look at and compare the features of each unit you are considering. Be sure to take the personality of the landlord into account as well. You have many options for how to search for apartments, but try to be as efficient as possible.
Depending on your personal income, and the incomes of any people you may be living with, you will be confined to a certain budget range. Before even looking at any places, think about what you can realistically afford on rent each month. Also think about the move in cost, which usually includes a security deposit plus at least one month of rent.
When you have a realistic grasp on your budget range, try to find an appropriate city or neighborhood to look for places. If your budget is low and you hope to move into a city, you may want to look at apartments just outside of the city limits, in the surrounding areas. Keep in mind, however, that prices of units are usually relative to their location, so a cheap place may be in a dangerous or undesirable place.

Those who are planning to travel around with other people might find this all a little bit stressful because quite often there will be conflicting opinions about what is wanted from the trip. The sad fact is that these types of holidays can destroy friendships; they can also be the deathbed for romances. Here are a few tips to help you travel with friends and not destroy your friendship in the process.
- Make some plans before you go away by getting together to discuss things you would like to do and places you would like to see. It is better to do this before you go than to try it while you are already away. Making plans that you can agree on is important even if you don’t end up sticking to them.
- Travelling with friends is all about give and take. Making sure that everyone gets their way at least some of the time is very important. Just following the whims of one of the group is bound to lead to resentment and anger.
- If you are going to be spending a lot of time with people you will need to make allowances for their oddities. Holidays are not the time for pointing out each other’s faults. Biting your tongue is a good thing to do so that you can get along with each other.
- Allow time to be able to get away alone for a few hours. This will prevent you from becoming irritated …
