49 foot python

I continue to be obsessed with the 49 foot python. It’s a snake. It weighs 992 pounds. They feed it dogs.

I sort of like the idea of snakes that big, simply because it’s darn hard for them to catch you by surprise. My plan to genetically engineer snakes so that they are born with little bells about their necks isn’t going so well. Just not wild about the snakes. Nope, not a bit.

(editors note, June 2010: The link is dead and I have no memory of this particular obsession).
