Not going to be visiting that exhibit anytime soon.

Just wait until it gets out somehow.

The Cotton Mouth is also far less venomous than the Black Mamba.

Cotton Mouth’s venom is hemotoxic causing localized tissue destruction, whereas Mamba’s is neurotoxic, and is just going to shut it’s victim down altogether.

I always ponder whether some lunatic neighbor may be keeping these kind of wretched things as “pets”.

Black mamba with a "coffin-shaped" head... just two 'drops' of its venom can kill a person in as little as 20 minutes... plus its ability to raise its head well off the ground, enable it to launch as much as 40% of its body length upwards

“fast, nervous, lethally venomous, and when threatened, highly aggressive”

Sounds like a female democrat.

You’re right, that’s the most likely thing to happen.

Ralph: You know who’s making trouble? Carlos.
Carlos Sanchez, ho-ho! Sure.
He wants everybody to do the mambo and teach ‘em nice manners.

All I know is Alice that was satisfied with me for 15 years.
Now, she wants to change me.

Norton: Well, she’s got a nerve, she’s got a nerve.
She knew when she married you, she was getting the worst of it.

Ralph: You can say that again.
Well, I’m telling you that if we don’t put a stop to that Carlos, every husband in this building’s going to be in trouble.

(knocking on door)

Ralph: Come in.
Oh, hiya, Mr. Manicotti.

Mr. Manicotti: Hello, Mr. Kramden.

My wife, she’s a-here? Well, she was here a little while ago, but she left.

She leave a note on the kitchen table, she’s coming down here for mambo lessons.

That woman is driving me crazy! All she think about is mambo.

Ralph: There you are, Norton.

Mr. Manicotti: She’s a-crazy! Sure.
All day long, she make a-like this and like that!

Ralph: I told you that Carlos was going to get us all in trouble.

Mr. Manicotti: Trouble? When my Angelina, she make like this, she throw all the dishes off the table...

“....the locals working for the expedition didn’t want to camp and spend the night close to where the snake might be..”

As if it was the only one in Africa.

It's been 10+ years and I am still blown away by the story of the tiger in a California zoo who, after being taunted for hours by some teenagers, somehow managed to scale the wall, get out, track the kid down and kill him. Reports say the tiger had passed other zoo goers during his hunt for the teen.

They aren’t supposed to, but I have seen shows on Animal Planet that there are many who sneak awful snakes into the US. Some end up dead by their own snakes.

I read some story about a man finding an awful snake in his toilet a while back. Ever since that, (heh) I always turn the light on and look first.

I hate snakes.
