I am a chinese(Singaporean) and parents call boy's penis "xiao niao"(birds). I also saw a news article about snakes being found in toilet bowls. So here comes my fear: I did not dare to use the toilet or sit on it at all because snakes live in toilet bowls and they will eat your birds(penis) because i did learn that snakes do eat birds. I dared not enter public toilets and i would make sure i had a stick around me when i was at home in the toilet and also having adults around. It was really scary then but really stupid when i come to think of it now
