Imagine walking into your shed on a balmy Florida afternoon and discovering an enormous snake eating a cat's skull. Sounds like the opening scene for SyFy's next disaster movie right? WRONG! This is a real story with a real 100 lbs. snake. Ok, now that you are genuinely shocked, let's discuss what happened.

A 14-foot Burmese python was found by a man while he was performing home repairs in Hialeah, Florida. Officials immediately responded to the home and when they entered the shed to assess the snake situation the python was eating a cat's skull. The Miami-Dade Venom Unit also discovered that there was a large amount of molted skin in the shed, leading them to the conclusion that the massive snake had made the shed his makeshift home. "It was very nicely holed up in a shed, it's been there a while," Lt. Lisa Wood, of the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Venom Unit, said of the reptile.The discovered python had also solved the mystery of why there had been a large number of disappearances of local cats and rabbits. "Speaking with the neighbors, apparently there's a couple of rabbits and a cat missing from the neighborhood recently so the snake may be to blame for that," Wood added.

At least five people were killed and 20 injured when billows of ammonia gas erupted from a fertilizer factory in eastern Ukraine's Donetsk Region, local authorities said Tuesday.

The accident occurred that afternoon during maintenance works at the factory, run by mineral fertilizer manufacturer Stirol. According to the company, the leak was caused by a depressurization of a liquid-ammonia pipeline.

A Spanish child rapist freed from a 30-year-sentence in Morocco last week has been arrested in Spain, officials say.

Daniel Galvan Vina, who had been freed as part of a broader royal pardon, was detained in Murcia, police said.

Moroccan officials said his release was a mistake, and King Mohammed had been unaware of the nature of his crimes. The king has since sacked the head of prisons and rescinded the pardon.

Galvan, was convicted of raping 11 children, aged between four and 15.

He was sentenced to 30 years in prison in September 2011.

An 11-year-old Indian girl who was reportedly set on fire after resisting an attempted rape died of her injuries Sunday, according to multiple reports.

"The minor was admitted with critical burn injuries," SSKM Hospital Superintendent T.K. Ghosh said, according to New Delhi Television. Ghosh added that on Sunday morning, the girl "succumbed to her injuries."

According to The Times of India, the attack happened Wednesday, July 31, in Salkia. The victim was reportedly doused in kerosene and set on fire by two men who had attempted to rape her. She had said she recognized the men and had threatened to tell her parents. She suffered burns on 70 percent of her body.

Stratford resident Lucy Stafford found the young red deer, whose hind legs have been chopped off, when she took her three-year-old niece to the play area in Chandos Road Gardens for a summer holiday treat.

Lucy said: "It completely traumatised my niece. I mean, this is a children's play area, there are loads of children playing around it.

"There are flies all over it. I called Newham Council to come and pick it up at 11.05am and this other lady I've been talking to called them at about 7 or 8am.

"We put a black plastic bag over it to try and cover it up but now that's just blowing round the park.

"It looks to me like someone butchered it, chopped it up, and just dumped it there."

Z service stations are trialling an invisible liquid "DNA" they hope will deter would-be robbers and improve safety for staff and customers.

In a statement released today, Z said it would be the country's first service station to use the SelectaDNA Spray technology which it is trialling at a number of sites.

The new state-of-the-art security system enables would-be robbers to be invisibly "tagged" and therefore identifiable to police, the statement said.

The technology being used is not to identify stolen products, as has been the case in recent police-led "Safe as Houses" projects, but would identify the robber by using a high-tech spray unit installed at the doors that is activated automatically in the event of a robbery or after-hours burglary.

Highly visible warning signage is placed on the doors to alert would-be robbers of its presence, however, once there has been a security breach it is impossible to leave the scene without being sprayed with a fine DNA-laced mist. Z said the DNA solution - unique to each location - stays on the skin for up to 10 days and glows blue under ultraviolet light. The DNA within the solution provides police with a link between offender and crime scene.

Sama Elmasry's anti-Obama music video is a special kind of crazy. The Egyptian belly dancer, actress and singer is obviously unhappy with President Barack Obama's foreign policy.

She's put together an... interesting music video, which portrays Obama as dead terrorist Osama bin Laden and a diaper-clad baby, among other things. Elmasry accuses Obama of joining forces with "the terrorists", repeatedly telling him "our army is very strong".

"Hey Obama, you are stupid, bad man," Elmasry sings.

"You want us to release Morsi. Stop this or I will stab you."

At this point, Elmasry brandishes a sword at an image of Obama. The clip isn't exactly subtle.

Mexican drug cartels are hiring US military personnel to carry out murders. In exchange for cash or drugs, some American servicemen are working as hit men or teaching gangsters their skills.

Drug cartels have recruited American servicemen for years, paying them thousands of dollars to assassinate government informants, ousted cartel members, and other enemies of the group, law enforcement experts told Fox News.

"There has been a persistent gang problem in the military for the past six to eight years," said Fred Burton, vice president for STRATFOR Global Intelligence. "...It is quite worrisome to have individuals with specialized military training and combat experience being associated with the cartels."

As of April 2011, the FBI National Gang Intelligence Center identified members of at least 53 gangs that have served in or are affiliated with the US military. The NDIC has also noted a rise in gang-related violence and activity along the US-Mexican border.

In one case, Michael Apodaca, a 22-year-old private first-class stationed at Fort Bliss, Tx., accepted a $5,000 offer by the Juarez Cartel to kill Jose Daniel Gonzalez-Galeana, a cartel member who was secretly working as an informant for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Apodaca, who was 18 years old when he was recruited, fatally shot the informant in May 2009, but was caught by authorities and last week sentenced to life in prison.

In another case, Kevin Corley, a 29-year-old Army first lieutenant stationed at Fort Carson, Colo., conspired to commit a murder-for-hire for the Los Zetas drug cartel in November 2012. He was promised $50,000 and five kilograms of cocaine to conduct a drug raid and contract killing at a ranch near Laredo. He was required to bring his own team of assassins.

Thames Water has found a 15 tonne bus-sized lump of rotting food and sanitary wipes in the drains beneath a road in Kingston, South West London.

The congealed mushy deposit, dubbed a 'fatberg' by the authority, is thought to be the largest ever found in Britain.

The blockage, which if left untreated could have led to sewage flooding homes, streets and businesses, was discovered after residents in nearby buildings complained that they couldn't flush their toilets. The water authority subsequently discovered the 'fatberg' through CCTV investigation.

Gordon Hailwood, waste contracts supervisor for Thames Water said: "While we've removed greater volumes of fat from under central London in the past, we've never seen a single, congealed lump of lard this big clogging our sewers before.

Campbellton -- Two young boys who were at a sleepover in an apartment above an exotic pet store in Campbellton, N.B., were killed by a large African python that got loose early Monday.

The python escaped from the Reptile Ocean exotic pet store and killed the children, reportedly five and seven years old, who were found at 6:30 a.m.

According to deputy mayor Ian Comeau, the snake escaped and slithered through the ventilation system to the residence above where the children had spent the night.

Well before the tragedy, an online petition was asking for Reptile Ocean to be shut down.
