ne stimmt schon,
man geht wohl davon aus, dass auf Koh Phi Phi in irgendsoeiner Cocktailbar für Touristen,
ev. so ein umgebauter VW Bus als Bar,
seit Jahren ein Flasche Schnaps steht, wo ne Schlange drinn eingelegt ist.
Alle paar Jahre kommt ein Touri auf die Idee, von der Flasche zu trinken,
und der sturbt dran an Vergiftung.
Das in der Flasche zuviel metanol zum Konservieren der Schlange reingekommen ist,
scheint noch nicht sicher,
denn die Gerichtsmediziner sagten, so eine Vergiftungserscheinung haben sie noch nie gesehen.
Tragisch für die jungen Mädels aus Kanada, 20 und 26 ist kein Alter,
und ein harter Schlag für die Familie, gleich 2 Kinder verloren zu haben.
Quebec sisters found dead in Thai hotel room
Cause of deaths not yet known

A town official in a small Quebec community has confirmed the identity of two sisters found dead in a room at a Thai resort yesterday.
Sisters Audrey and Noémi Bélanger, aged 20 and 25, were from Pohénégamook in the Lower Saint Lawrence region of Quebec.
A town councillor told CBC News the small community is in shock.
A cousin told The Canadian Press late Saturday that the sisters studied in Quebec City with their eldest sister, but worked at the family store in the community of roughly 3,000.
The cousin says the women's parents were notified while visiting their other daughter in Quebec City.
The tragic news then trickled back to the Marche Bonichoix, the family store where the sisters worked, an employee said, but would not comment further.
The bodies of the two women were discovered in their main-floor room in the tourist island of Phi Phi Friday afternoon local time.

There were no signs of violence in the room, according to local police. Investigators are looking into the possibility the women may have been poisoned.
"It's difficult to get a sense of just what police found when they visited the room, but they had said there were signs that the two women had been sick and they had mysterious rashes on their skin," Alan Morison of the Phuket Wan news website told CBC Montreal.
That information was confirmed by nurses at the hospital where the bodies were taken on Thailand's mainland, he said.
Autopsies will be conducted to determine the official cause of death.
Representatives from the Canadian Embassy in Thailand were expected to visit the island on Saturday.
Canada's Department of Foreign Affairs said it cannot release further details or identify the women due to privacy concerns.
"Canadian consular officials in Bangkok are providing consular assistance to the family and are in contact with local authorities," Claude Rochon, a spokeswoman for the department, said in an email statement.
"Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the Canadian Citizens who passed away in Thailand."
Women found by hotel staff
According to Phuketwan.com, a maid knocked on the door of the women's room Thursday but there was no response.

On Friday, a master key was used to enter the room and that's when the bodies were discovered. The women had checked into the hotel on Tuesday.
Anangkana Choisrinal, a nurse at the hospital where the bodies were taken, told the Phuket Wan she had never seen a case like it.
''We have no idea as yet what killed the women," she told the website. ''They had been dead between 12 and 20 hours when they were found."
In 2009, two young tourists, one from the U.S. and the other from Norway, staying at a nearby guest house also died under mysterious circumstances.
Their deaths remain unsolved, but there was speculation the women had been poisoned.
