Nearly a dozen 7-Eleven convenience stores will wear a new face replicating the famed Kwik-E-Marts from "The Simpsons" cartoon. Kwik-E-Mart, which was designed in the show to poke fun at 7-Eleven Inc's more than 6,000 North American stores, features unhealthy snacks like Buzz Cola, KrustyO's cereal and Squishees -- a spin off of 7-Eleven's Slurpees.

An eleven year old boy from Alabama has killed what may possibly be a record-setting wild boar. Jamison Stone has killed a "monster pig" using a . 50 caliber revolver, an animal his father claims weighs nearly 250 pounds heavier than the famed wild hog "Hogzilla" that that was shot and killed in Alapaha, Georgia. According to the examiners, Hogzilla, which was originally thought to weigh 1,000 pounds and measure 12 feet long, actually weighed only 800 lbs. and was just 8 feet long. The hunt however gained so much media attention that an independent film maker planned to make it into a movie titled "The Legend of Hogzilla. " As it stands, the hunt comes as no less than an accomplishment to Jamison who killed his first deer at age 5, according to the AP reports. Jamison said he chased the hog for three hours through hilly woods before finishing it off with a point-blank shot. Stone, who has also bagged a role in the horror flick "The Legend of Hogzilla," however says he still prefers hunting pheasants to monster pigs.

Maybe the passenger with 700 snakes in his carry-on bag hadn't seen the movie "Snakes on a Plane," before he tried to board a flight from Egypt to Saudi Arabia on Thursday. Authorities only discovered the snakes after airline staff asked him to open his bag before he boarded the flight. The man complied with the request, but warned the airport employee not to get too close. Inside the bag were 700 writhing snakes, including two deadly cobras.
