KENNEDY TWP., Pa. -- The Allegheny County medical examiner is investigating the death of a man whose body was found in a Kennedy Township motel room with nine animals.

Police said the man, whose identity had not been released, was found inside a room at the Motel Six on Beecham Drive.

Triangle Pet Control Services said the man was found with a purebred German Sheppard puppy, seven ferrets and a scorpion.

All of the animals were found alive.

No good reason to own a scorpion, and I shudder to thing what (where) he was doing with the ferrets.

I’d hate to imagine what kind of evil plot seven ferrets, a puppy, and a scorpion might come up with to take this guy down...

[Shermy]

No pit bulls? That’s odd.

Well, that’s a unique headline you don’t see every day.

“I’d hate to imagine what kind of evil plot seven ferrets, a puppy, and a scorpion might come up with to take this guy down..”

Sounds like a good story line for the “Madagascar” cartoons/movies.

I suspect it was Mr. Wiggles. WHICH ferret was named Mr. Wiggles, I don't know.

purebred German Sheppard

I'm guessing this is like a "genuine Rollex"...

So did ya here the one about the guy in a motel room with a Scorpion, 7 Ferrets, and a puppy...

[justsaynomore]

Sounds like one of those minute mysteries...

“...seven ferrets and a scorpion...”

Sounds like a good candidate for Dave Barry’s list of rock band names.

purebred German Sheppard

I'm guessing this is like a "genuine Rollex"...

Or would it be like "Sheppard Schmitt"?

Better check the scorpion’s alibi.

They used to say that the only way a Kennedy would not get elected in MA is if he got caught in a motel room with a dead girl or a live boy. So here is a dead man in a motel in Kennedy Township PA. I’m not sure how that affects the political career of the ferret.

Scorpion? Did he have a still?

Is Bidengaffe on there? "Why can't you say something nice, smart a$$?"

Wundah whut rect-um?

[Vendome]

Not even twice! LOL

[Vendome]

Yeah, that’s the one about the Irish guy and a .....

[Vendome]

NO, but he is lying dead still now.

There is a movie in this report or at least a mournful Country-Western song!

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

I can see Al Gore allowing hundreds of scorpions to crawl over his oiled naked body while receiving a massage. That would certainly stir his “Chaka”(or whatever he calls it!)

But they keep on playing Rock You Like a Hurricane on the state fair circuit.

...German Sheppard puppy, seven ferrets and a scorpion.

They were his or this is what you should expect of Motel Six?

[epluribus_2]

scary - I was thinking about those penguins at the same time...
Rico: [Grabs stick of dynamite] Kaaboooom?
Skipper: Yes, Rico. Kaaboom.

What no hamsters?

Kennedy Twp.? I think he was trying to get his Sto-Rox off.

Last night, I was watching a “M*A*S*H” rerun. My favorite character, Col. Flagg, asked Radar to round up some scorpions for him to send to a friend. Radar reported that he couldn’t find any and Col. Flagg told him not to worry, he’d send some from his personal stash.

perfect

[Slings and Arrows]

I blame the puppy.

[TheOldLady]

I blame the puppy.

Maybe the ferrets will rat him out.

Did you know that most scorpions aren't dangerous to humans? And the only species in America that is is the Arizona bark scorpion.

Actually, I think that most of the gigantic, scare-you-senseless ones are harmless to humans. Most of the dangerous ones are little rascals that you wouldn't suspect.
