Not quite as bad as drowning your own baby

This is just sad. This is a story about a pathetic, lazy, sadistic whacko, I guess.
Maybe the Boa had IBD, and had to be put down. But, if that is the case, then the whole river just got contaminated! Just like in Cabin Fever
Every time I update my blog, I end up feeling sick. Thanks a lot, humanity.

T.V. Perpetuates the fiction

I think I'm going to puke.
I haven't watched T.V. in so long, I had almost forgotten how repugnantly stupid it can be.

The VenomDoc Forums

Doctors Brian Grieg, and Alexia Fry: the worlds foremost venom researchers are hosting a fabulous set of forums. Go check it out, you might learn something. Oh, and they are really nice humans, in fact.

More idiots with Hots make it hard for me to keep Boas

Look, I know that there are people out there who keeps "hot" herps that aren't idiots, but the vast majority I have met in my life are one sandwich short of a picnic basket.
I know that responsible, sane, sober people can get bit by their cobra too, and I applaud those trained, well-equipped keepers of venomous snakes who are doing it for a reason, such as venom research, or running reptile-house at a zoo or something. The problem I have with irresponsible lay-people who keep hots is that they make all of the rest of look like crazed maniacs who are a menace to the public health. In fact, irresponsibility with gas Bar-B-Q's causes many more deaths and injuries than irresponsibility with venomous snakes does, but the number of humans interactiing with gas Bar-B-Q's is much larger than with Rhinocerous vipers.

For all of you "Hot" heads our there Here's a clue: Keep hots that your local hospital has antivenom for!
I bet that there is not generally a lot of call for Bitis antivenom in Ohio, so the hospital is not going to have it.
If your local hospital doens't have the antivenom you want, find out who does, and have the information at the ready for your health care provider, so that they don't spend hours wondering where they are going to get Dendroaspis antivenom. In fact, it might be a good idea to contact your hospital, tell them what you're doing, and provide them with information on how to save your ass, such as, "Do not perform a fasciotomy, you morons."
The snake in this story, a Rhinoceros Viper (Bitis nasicornis) is boldly proclaimed to be one of the world's deadliest, without a shred of evidence to support such a claim. By "one of" the world's deadliest, maybe they mean: "Top 50" species, I don't know.

One Lonely Geek

I hope this link doesn't expire, this is a story of a very lonely man, who had spent his life playing too much D&D and too many video games, and eating Cheetos.
This is perhaps, the alternate ending to the productive period of my own life, if I had chosen a different path.
He kidnapped a woman (his ex-girlfriend) at sword point? I have not the words for the loneliness tht would possess a man to do this. Maybe bladed weapons make her hot, but she wasn't in the mood, so she pressed charges, which makes her even hotter. He did not intend, it seems, to harm her, he just couldn't get a date by other means. (at least that's what I get out of it.)

(puff puff pass, fool.)
The woman was unharmed. Police found also a 6-foot Boa constrictor, and that is significant to this story in what way, exactly?
