Philadelphia: Who cares what happened here, there was a snake on a train in Boston

     The number of homicides in Philly since 2001 is greater than the number of U.S. service people killed in Iraq. (Philebrity)  Let's hear it for our local starving authors:  City Paper is having the winners of their lit contest read their stuff out loud this coming Wed. 
     My contention that U.S. football is lameish is supported by the fact that people are really excited that a N.J. camel named Princess predicted that one of the two teams (which? I don't even know who's playing so can't be bothered) will win.  So, check it.  Not only did these people name their camel 'Princess,' they're fucking making it tap it's hoof or squat or eat the carrot that represents one of the teams.  No, I don't care how the camel actually made the prediction.  I care that people are harassing the camel.  (Actually the camel ate some graham crackers.  But it is still named Princess).
     Not local news but so awesome it must be mentioned.  So, this lady takes her python on the Boston subway; it slithered away and was missing for a month; it was spotted on a train by a commuter; it was caught.  What a heartwarming tale.
