$336.4 million Powerball jackpot unclaimed
TAIPEI, Taiwan, Oct. 9 (UPI) -- Taiwan firefighters caring for a foot-long viper tossed a tiny mouse in the cage as a snack but then watched as the mouse turned mighty and killed the snake.
The furry little rodent skirted in and out of range of the snake's gaping jaws and long fangs, darted in for a bite, then skittered away, constantly on the attack.
At the end of a fierce 30-minute battle at the Nanoun fire station, the snake was dead, the mouse had "barely a scratch on him," one fireman told The Daily Telegraph.
