Snake Found Wrapped Round Toilet Of 'Shocked' Elderly Scottish Couple

An elderly Scottish couple were "shocked" to find a yellow and black python wrapped around the seat of their toilet.

"She's in good body condition and well fed, so we're sure someone is missing her."

Confucius said, "Men's natures are alike; it is their habits that separate them." The best technique for dropping detrimental routines and instilling commendable ones has long been a holy grail of sorts for philosophers and psychologists. In his new book, The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business, Charles Duhigg, a New York Times writer and M.B.A., distills all we know of habits into a simple model that can help you defeat the person who might just be your worst enemy on the job—you.
