Look twice before grabbing a gas nozzle. A venomous snake wrapped itself around one fuel pump in Melbourne, Australia, and the gas station owner had to call in a local snake catcher to remove it. The Tiger snake is the most common snake in Melbourne and shouldn’t be approached as they can be “erratic,” according to snake catcher Raymond Hoser. “They are deadly,” he said. “You get bitten by a Tiger snake, and it’s pretty intense.” The five-foot-long snake had hitched a ride on the underside of a car, which is often the case, says Hoser, and slithered out onto the forecourt to curl up around the pump and take a nap.

A Manga Success Story

Japanese manga typically tell fictional stories; however, Project X is a non-fiction manga series of Japanese business success stories, and one stars 7-Eleven. The plot: A failing Japanese convenience store sends an executive to America to learn about its convenience store industry, and while there, the executive visits 7-Eleven and is impressed by its business model. After negotiating with 7-Eleven, the Japanese company secures use of the 7-Eleven name and process manuals without having to follow many of the U.S. company protocols. The Japanese company eventually develops its own store model inspired by the American stores and flourishes to the point that it could buy out the American company to save it from bankruptcy.
