This man thought he had a ‘few’ snakes under his home. It turned out to be 45!

When this homeowner two hours west of Fort Worth started having problems with his cable reception last week, he crawled under his house to see what was going on.

He quickly found a “few” snakes living under his home between Albany and Baird and called Big Country Snake Removal, according to the Buffalo Gap company’s Facebook post.

“Due to the high winds, their tv/cable was acting up, so a gentleman crawled under to see what was going on,” Nathan Hawkins, the company owner posted. ““He saw a ‘few’ snakes and quickly crawled out.”

British Schools Removing Analog Clocks From Exam Halls Because Kids Can’t Read Them

Kids just don't know how to read them

That one seemed strangely familiar, and sure enough a lot of news-sites covered it this time last year.

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/schools-removing-analog-clocks/

Snopes covered it in May 2018, and came to the conclusion that it was "mostly false".

For those with an interest in ancient history, back when reel to reels & film were the technology.
