Like all snakes, garter snakes do not intentionally commit suicide. However , if a garter snake is severely stressed, overheated, or neurologically confused, it may fall victim to a rare, self-destructive behavioral loop.  Here is how this process unfolds: [ 1 , ] Confusion and Overheating: If a snake gets too hot, is heavily stressed, or has compromised vision during shedding, it can become highly disoriented. [ 1 ,] Mistaking the Tail for Prey: The snake may smell its own tail and mistake it for prey. Driven by a false sense of hunger, it bites down. [ 1 ,]. Once  the snake bites its tail, it may attempt to swallow it whole. This causes internal injury and restricts the snake's digestive tract. [ 2 , ] The Danger: A self-inflicted bite alone is usually not instantly fatal. However, if the snake is sick, stressed, or the venom is injected deeply into a vulnerable vein, it can sometimes be lethal. Often, if self-consumption continues unhindered, death is caused by the p...

The United States President, Donald Trump vows that the U.S must prevail over Iran be it militarily or, on the negotiation table.  However, the Iran crisis was never an issue of dominance in the first place. By pulling the U.S out of the JCOPOA agreement and seeking military aggression against Iran, it is President Trump himself that has got the U.S in a situation where it has to prove its dominance in the global order.

There was a real life series I used to watch sometime back on Sony MAX. Title of the series was 1000 ways to die .  In these series, there is an episode that stayed on my mind forever. In the episode that am talking about, there was a dude, about 45 years old. He looked no more than 5'3" tall.  He was a business man dealing in expensive jewelry. Had a very nice office where he could meet some of his clients. Very neat and orderly.  However, behind all the office glamour, lay a very dark business this man was running.  Undercover, the man was a night time robber.  However , this was not your regular high way snatcher. This dude used to rob from fresh graves. Usually, people bury their loved ones ardoned with expensive jewelry. So, part of this dude's job was to seek out for fresh graves and when the night sank in, he would set off for "work". Together with his "workmates", they would quickly dig out the fresh corpse and take off  with the "load...

The "Greater Israel" project is an ideological vision for a Jewish state spanning significant portions of the Middle East, with boundaries historically defined by biblical verses (such as from the Nile to the Euphrates) .  While the exact borders vary depending on the interpretation, the project broadly encompasses modern-day Israel, the West Bank, Gaza, and parts of Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Iraq and Saudi Arabia. [ 1 , 2 ,]                  Purported map of the Greater Israel. The concept traces back to the biblical covenant in Genesis, where God promises Abraham's descendants lands stretching from the Brook of Egypt to the Euphrates River.

[ 1 , 2 , 3 ]   Right-wing political leaders, including Prime...

Hurrah! Hurray! A moment to celebrate for the Iranians, a sad day for the Israelis!  The Epic Fury came to kill, destroy and steal from Iran! Their most respected leader at the time was assassinated that is: the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Almost all of Iran's top command was assassinated. This is not the time to mourn the deaths of the assassinated leaders. This is a bitter sweet moment. A moment to officially celebrate the decapitated leaders as matyrs. The family of late Supreme Khamenei along with his commanders paid with their blood to set Iran free.  Miraculously, an operation that was launched to cause the downfall of the Iranian state has ended up giving them a victory of their life time. Having withstood 2 of the world's strongest lions' assaults for over 2 months, the lions eventually gave up on their ambitions of destroying Iran and ended up capitulating to Iran instead.  The duel between Iran and the U.S.A together with their lapdogs, the Israelis, ...

The world is still buzzing with the exciting news of a Memorandum Of Understanding that was reached between the U.S and Iran at the beginning of this week.  The MOU which will be officially unveiled to the world on Friday, 19th 2026, entails a framework that will see the U.S and Iran blockades on the strait of Hormus immediately lifted, a cessation of hostile activity for at least 60 days, a discussion on Iran's nuclear program and a permanent end to hostilities between the United States of America and Iran.
