Deer enters an Ohio bar
People in Ohio were left scratching their heads after a deer crashed into a bar and scrambled across the floor last week.
A video captured last Friday’s incident.
The video shows a deer running into the bar around 2:30 p.m.
While people can be seen moving to safety, one person tries to open a door for the deer.
That person is then seen running out of the bar with the deer behind him.
Besides some damage to the window, tables, and chairs, no injuries were reported.
Flying Snakes - Chrysopelea
Chrysopelea, or more commonly known as the flying snake, is a genus that belongs to the family Colubridae. Flying snakes are mildly venomous,though they are considered harmless because their toxicity is not dangerous to humans. Their range of habitat is mostly concentrated in Southeast Asia, the Melanesian islands, and India.

Weatherman vs Pelican - LIVE
Aussie weatherman Steven Jacobs didn't know one of his vocational hazards would be a pelican attack.
Broadcasting from the Taronga Zoo in Sydney, Jacobs was in the middle of his report recently when a pelican named Marnie began repeatedly biting his backside.
Jacobs, of Nine Network Australia, joked on "The Early Show" that he has no idea what provoked the behavior, but it could have been the fish he’d eaten the night before.

How Lazy People Walk the Dog
This seems like an interesting idea. If your remote control car has a long enough range, you may be able to get it to walk your dog. This dog seems content on following his mechanical master.
The World's Largest Snake
Indonesian villagers claim to have captured a python that is almost 49 feet long and weighs nearly 990 pounds, a local official said.
If confirmed, it would be the largest snake ever kept in captivity.
Hundreds of people have flocked to see the snake at a primitive zoo in Curugsewu village on the country’s main island of Java.
Local government official Rachmat said the reticulated python measured 48 feet 8 inches and weighed in at 983 pounds.
The Guinness Book of World Records lists the longest ever captured snake to be 32 feet. The heaviest — a Burmese Python kept in Gurnee, Ill. — weighs 402 pounds, the book said on its Web site.

Demolition of Chimney
The former Ohio Edison Mad River Power Plant's 275-foot smoke stack crushes surrounding buildings as it falls the wrong way during its demolition Wednesday, Nov. 10.
“Oh no.”
Those were some of the last words heard before shouts to get back as the old Mad River Power Plant’s 275-foot tower toppled in the wrong direction about noon Wednesday.
The blasts should have sent the stack onto a cleared area directly to the east, but instead the tower crashed to the southeast.
No one was injured but the tower knocked down two 12,500-volt power lines and smashed a building housing back-up generators.

Building Collapse - Demolition Fail
Demolition is the tearing-down of buildings and other structures, the opposite of construction. Demolition contrasts with deconstruction, which involves taking a building apart while carefully preserving valuable elements for re-use.
