Toddler bites cobra to death
Two-year-old Govinda Kumar was playing in his home in Bankatwa, a village in the eastern Indian state of Bihar. The cobra lunged at the child and coiled itself around his tiny hands. But instead of screaming, Govinda put the snake’s head in its mouth and clenched his jaw. He quickly lost consciousness after ingesting some of the deadly venom. 🖋️🤖

Chuck E. Cheese arrested for credit card fraud in Florida
Tallahassee police officers arrested Chuck E. Cheese on charges of credit card fraud on Wednesday. Authorities believe Jermell Jones, who was dressed as the rodent when they arrived, stole a customer’s credit card and used it to make fraudulent purchases. In the photos, police can be seen leading the iconic pizza rat through the front door of the establishment. “Ok, Tallahassee Police Department, y’all couldn’t let this man change out of his Chuck E. Cheese costume before arresting him in front of those kids?” wrote one Facebook user while sharing photos of the incident. TPD spokesperson Alicia Hill told the Tallahassee Democrat that officers had hoped to lead Jones out of the restaurant without placing him in handcuffs. 🖊️️🤖
