It’s enough to rattle anyone’s cage when a house catches fire with dozens of snakes inside.

Two adults and five kids got out safely when the house in a Denver suburb burned down.

What airheads dreamed up this stunt?

Officials at an Ohio air show have rethought their plans to stage a re-enactment of the World War II bombing of Hiroshima, which killed an estimated 100,000 people.

The B-29 plane Fifi — the same model as the Enola Gay, which dropped the atomic bomb on Japan on Aug. 6, 1945 — will have another role at the June 22-23 air show in Dayton.

Who’s your granddaddy?

In Iceland, there’s an app for that — to make sure there’s no inadvertent incest.

In the Nordic island nation of 320,000, the genealogical app enables couples to “bump’’ smartphones together to learn if there’s too close a family relationship.

The app uses an online Iceland family database that goes back 1,200 years.

Its slogan is “bump the app before you bump in bed.’’

Burglars picked the wrong trailer to break into in Eastleigh, England — and were exposed to potentially lethal asbestos.

Now cops are looking for them — to help the unlucky thieves get medical help.

Police said the crooks forced in the doors of the locked trailer and opened sealed bags holding asbestos-contaminated clothing.

Workers at a demolition site had worn the clothing, and it was being shipped away.
