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!!"

    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.
