Moon dust is incredibly sharp because there is no wind or water to erode it and wear it down. It cuts through kevlar-like material and is harmful to humans, causing a disease called Moon Hay Fever.

Massage By a Burmese Python, Anyone?
First of all
They start off with telling you not to worry because the snakes are fed before each massage. I don’t think they have this whole relaxation thing down.
“Except for the snake trying to constrict my neck, it’s actually quite comfortable.”
Burmese Pythons
The massage is FOUR giant burmese pythons laid on top of your body as you lay down. In total these pythons weigh as much as 440 pounds (200 kilograms) and are about 20 feet long; But despite their size, they seem pretty friendly.
The snakes are so big that it takes multiple people to carry each one to you!
Now, if this still sounds good to you can visit at the Cebu City Zoo in the Philippines. It sounds like they’re happy to help and if you go, tell us about it!
Everyone who does it seems to think it’s pretty cool too!
Make sure to watch the video on below!
