When I was around 8 or so, I remember hearing on the radio how someone's boa constrictor escaped into the sewer system and came up in someone's toilet. I am sure that I must've somehow heard part of that wrong, because the logistics seem impossible to me now, but for that whole year I still remember going to the toilet as fast as I could, flushing and slamming the lid down to make sure that if the snake appeared in our toilet, he wouldn't attack me. I still wonder about that and I still always put the lid down.
