“I did what?” said a California man

A California man has been charged with biting a live python. David Senk, 54, says he has a drinking problem and doesn’t remember chomping into the python at a local convenience store, where its owner was showing off her pet. Police said the python was behaving peacefully when Senk “just out of the blue took a bite,” causing serious injuries that required surgery. “I did what?” Senk said to a reporter later. “If you find the owner, tell him I’m real sorry.” He was arrested on charges of unlawfully maiming a reptile.
