It has hit the news that a python (10 footer) killed and swallowed a woman from head to waist. The snake would have finished the job if some people didn't come and killed the animal.
Here's my question: i'm assuming from the start that it's a burm that they're talking about because i find it hilarious to imagine a 10 foot retic swallowing an adult. But still, even a 10 foot burm does not seem capable of killing and eating a person. Could this be false news?

Have you ever seen a 10ft burm before? I saw that on yahoo news not too long ago, as well as a some guys pet 100kg burm that ate his pet pit bull, and only realized what happened after his dog was missing for a week, and another python that ate an african kid while his friends hid in a tree and watched the whole thing, oh, and not to mention, the lady that gave birth in a field, looked down, and saw a burm swallow it just as she birthed it (said she didn't even know what sex it was, that's how quickly it ate it). They are all on yahoo's 'oddly enough' stories...total crap i say

You got it! I also think that most of the stuff that comes printed in the news is the product of wild imagination.
gee...It ate the newborn in a flash ??!!? Maybe it was a graboid.
