Yeah, but that will cost you a bit more.

Boy! You guys and your fetishes!

His last words were:

"To serve mankind" is a cookbook!!!!

The original article probably said 450 Kg, and the reporter converted it to pounds without rounding (or thinking).

I want to see a picture of this critter! That is a whopping big snake!

[Trueblackman]

Where was I that morning at work or something, that is just too damn funny.

[MinuteGal]

What was Mary Matalin's hubby, ole Serpent Head, doing in Indonesia? Sounds like he put on a lot of length and weight.

Yes, they do poop, and by cracky, it smells!

I know because my kid caught and kept a large black snake for a couple of years. Long time ago. I'll never forget.

[general_re]

NEARLY 992.07 pounds???

It was actually 992.068581 pounds, but the editor obviously wanted to round it off ;)

[CHICAGOFARMER]

Well who has a picture of it.

[Area51]

Who's gonna rescue Hillary this time?

[fso301]

She is dreaming

Does kind of have that look. Were she a liberal news babe, a caption thread would be hilarious.

[Diddle E. Squat]

Thanks for the answer, the infrequent eating habits of snakes is what made me wonder.

[boris]

Well I'm glad it wasn't another "Coral Snale" thread.

Glad my wife isn't home to read this post. She's a little intense when it comes to snakes.

Example: She came running in the house one day from working in the garden, screaming like a banshee. "KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT" was about the only intelligible part that I could make out. I put down the paper and looked out the window toward the garden. No Cthulhu. I walked outside to the front of the garden. No Cthulhu. Finally, I spotted a bit of movement over by the radishes. The hideous "monster" that so terrified my wife was an 8-inch GARTER SNAKE. I swear, I've seen bigger nightcrawlers.

I granted clemency to the creature who hadn't really done anybody any harm by tossing it over in the neighbor's yard. As a reward for my compassionate act, I got to finish hoeing the potato row (her job since she insisted that we have the damn garden in the first place) since it was next to the radishes where I discovered the intruder.

One of the gifts my wife received for her next birthday was a box containing a rubber dime-store snake and a pair of Depend undergarments. I paid for this bit of insolence by getting burned pot roast the next 3 times we had it.
