Longest Snake

Posted by michael on from the soon-to-be-a-made-for-tv-movie dept.

bobbyb0y writes "Here's an article at BBC reporting what could be the longest snake ever caught. You can look at some of its pictures online. Currently on display at a zoo in Indonesia. Its a monster of a python weighing close to 450 kilos and ~15m long. Beat that anaconda. Seems it has developed a nice taste for dogs too!!"

    There is a snake in my trousers that takes issue with this story.

    "They said that the snake had only recently been put on public display and ate three or four dogs a month." Forget about feeding it for a month and it may just like a nice tasty morsel of Saddam. Seems like a fitting end for him, anyone want to suggest it to the Iraqi's?

    Ok, huge, long, snakes and William Shatner producing another album, both in the same hour. Are you people trying to provoke all my phobias?

    Stuff that...matters?

    Of course it does. This is gonna be a big point in favor for the Python-lovers against the Perl-afficionados: "The largest python ever weighed 447 kilograms - has there EVER been a perl weighing ever 4.47 kg? No? Of course not! Therefore, Python rules. Oh, and by the way, Python eats parrots for snacks!!!!".

    Of course it's stuff that matters.

    (we need to get out more)
