The most reviled creature in all Biblical and Aesopian parables really stuck it to humanity again on Thursday, this time the son of a bitch got tangled up in the electrical cables crucial to powering Japan’s JR Central bullet train line between Tokyo and Osaka, officials tell NBC News.
The blackout occurred at 5:26 PM local time and was not restored until 7 PM, affecting 86 trains and stranding tens of thousands of passengers, a spokesperson for JR said. The fucking snake at least died as it cursed its hapless warm-blooded nemeses to the obnoxiously long delay.
