    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. May 3, 2006 (AP)— After being told by her apartment complex management that it was not their responsibility to remove a snake for her porch, a woman set the reptile on fire and caused $1,000 damage to vinyl siding.

Shatavia Kearney, 19, called the Charter Landing Apartments office Sunday and asked someone to remove a snake for her porch. Police said she told them she was told to deal with the situation herself, The Florida Times-Union reported Wednesday

So Kearney doused the snake with a flammable liquid and set it on fire, according to a police report by the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.

In the process, the vinyl siding caught fire and was charred and melted in two places.

No one was charged and the snake got away.

...but in what condition? If the description is accurate (hey, it happens), it was doused in flammable liquid and set on fire. Odds are, it didn't get away unscathed.
 
Too bad about the damage to the house. It should have burnt down the whole dang place. I can't think of anything more cruel that being doused and then set on fire. Someone should have asked the little air-head if she would have liked that to happen to her.
