10A – Daily News – Friday, November 19, 2010 ODDS & ENDS Ohio zoo acquires daughter of longest snake COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio zoo says a new resident has big snake- skin shoes to fill. Weeks after announcing the death of the longest snake in captivity, the Columbus Zoo and Aquari- um said Wednesday it has acquired the python’s small- er daughter. The 24-foot, 18-year-old snake named Fluffy died Oct. 27 of an apparent tumor. The zoo’s new snake is 12 years old, and 6 feet shorter than her mother. The zoo says in a state- ment that the daughter arrived Tuesday from the same private breeder who sold Fluffy to the zoo in 2007. Fluffy was about the length of a moving van and had held the Guinness World Record as the longest snake living in captivity. She also drew large crowds. 2 accused of stealing hissing cockroach BALTIMORE (AP) — Baltimore police say two brothers aged 11 and 14 A local event – part of a national campaign to promote physical activity for American Indians and Alaska Natives have been charged as juve- niles with stealing about a dozen reptiles and a hissing cockroach from a city-run nature center.

Dealership offers free AK-47 for truck buyers SANFORD, Fla. (AP) — A central Florida deal- ership trying to drum up business is offering an unusual perk for poten- tial used-truck buyers: A free AK-47 assault rifle. General sales manager Nick Ginetta says that since the promotion was announced on Veterans Day, business has more than doubled at Nations Trucks in Sanford. Customers would have to pass a background check before using the $400 gun shop voucher. They also have the option of using the money toward other firearms, or they can request a check in that amount instead. The dealership has fielded some complaints about the deal, which Ginetta acknowledges is controversial. But, he adds: "My buyer is absolutely a gun owner, no question." The promotion runs through the end of November. Fibromyalgia? Please call Suffering With (530) 529-6544 Rory Lengtat, D.C.
