Afternoon Scoop

A thrift store in Belgium received an unusual donated item: an album full of photos showing a mystery woman posing with celebrities. Employees were going through boxes of donated items when they found an album filled with pictures of a woman posing with celebrities including Keanu Reeves, Elijah Wood, Angelina Jolie, Tom Cruise, William Shatner, Johnny Depp, Drew Barrymore and Bruce Willis. The store's policy is to destroy any personal photos found inside donation boxes, but in this case the uniqueness of the photos inspired the staff to attempt to identify the woman in the photos using social media. The woman in the photos has been identified as Maria Snoeys-Lagler. Snoeys-Lagler was former member of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association who died in 2016 at the age of 87. The woman's daughter now has possession of the album and the one of a kind photos of her mother.

Last week  pythons were discovered wrapped in pillowcases.  This week 15 corn snakes and a carpet python were found in a bin behind the same fire station.    Authorities are unsure if they were dropped at the same time and not discovered or if the shameless snake skippers made a return trip.   The reptiles have been checked by a vet and are free of any form or a reptile dysfunction.   The RSPCA  is  working with local authorities to locate the slithery sidewinders responsible.  More information can be found at  CNN.COM  or  UPI.COM
