Old and busted: Snakes on a plane
New hotness: Snake on those prayin’
Prayers at the Western Wall were unexpectedly interrupted on Wednesday night when a snake slithered out from stones above the women’s prayer section.
The reptile caused some “panic and embarrassment” among the worshipers below, until a “skilled snake catcher” was found to capture the serpent, according to the Western Wall Heritage Foundation, which released video of the incident. The catcher pulled the snake from the wall to applause from worshipers and posed for photos with his quarry. He identified the snake as a coin-marked snake, an indigenous species which looks threatening but is non-poisonous.
Because there is not enough excitement in Israel as it is.
