CAIRO (Reuters) - A Saudi passenger tried to smuggle a large number of reptiles, including cobra snakes and infant Nile crocodiles, out of Egypt in his luggage, Egypt's official Middle East News Agency (MENA) reported Sunday. The discovery of the reptiles in the passenger's bags triggered a brief panic among security personnel at the Cairo International Airport, witnesses said.
The 22-year-old passenger, identified only as Anas, said he needed the reptiles, which also included chameleons, for scientific research at his university in Saudi Arabia.
His collection will be handed over to Egypt's main zoo in Cairo.

Sounds like a BORAT prank.

"I got question who is the MOMMY LOL!"
To: RouxStir
one of the pranks that was popular when I was in high school was to go to a goodwill store and get a really cheap suitcase, and then go to a river with some friends (fiends?) and capture a couple of water snakes (non-poisonous but agressive), put them in the suitcase and leave it alongside the road in one of the less prosperous areas of town. Now this had to be in a wooded area so you could hide and watch it. Inevetably someone would come along and collect the suitcase after first looking all around. The fun began when they opened it. I of course never participated in such.

Neither did I!! I prefered wrapping them in boxes like they were birthday presents that someone left on top of the car and drove off.

Did you see that video where the kids filled purses with dog poop and left them by the side of the road? I never laughed so hard watching people greedily poke their hands deep inside.
