Which hotel is that, so I can put it on my never frequent list?

Any venomous snake I find is dead; any snake I am not certain is non-venomous is dead; sometimes non-venomous snakes I find are dead if they are in the wrong place (around my wife) or they piss me off.

Edited to add F snakes.

That footage of the dude slapping the cobra is a classic. Here's another "how do you walk with balls that big?" moment but from Australia. A brown snake (one of the deadliest snakes in the world) had slithered up near a walkway. This old man is headed to the restroom and ain't got no time to go around or for the snakes' bull****.

I know a guy who's deathly afraid of snakes that found one in his apartment in Pullman, WA. He didn't know what kind of snake it was when he saw it. It started slithering away and he stomped on the ground to get it to stop. Sucker rose up with a hood and he started screaming like a little girl. Neighbor came and caught it and they called the cops. Cops went door to door and a neighbor claimed it and said it was missing 2 months. He promptly moved out.

Too bad you couldn't pull the Blue Bell investigation in Brenham instead of freakin ebola.

I'm pretty tolerant of snakes, enjoy them even (and can even identify them), and make fun of a lot of you nancy-boys that piss your pants at the sight of a rough earth snake.

That being said, Gaboons and mambas give me the willies. Gaboons because they just sit there and hit you massively with no warning (and good luck seeing them beforehand), and mambas because, well, they are the perpetually pissed off *******s of the snake world. They chase your arse down out of spite and just because they can. And then hit you about 10 times, even though they know once is more than enough.

Ditto

I am currently in the hottest hotzone in SL on the border with Guinea. I had a crazy 3 hour drive across the country this afternoon in the landrover. Saw some of the poorest people on the planet. I am sitting in a hospital that I had to have a fever check and wash my hands in bleach to gain entrance.

Go home tonight, hug your kids, and thank God that you live in the greatest country in the history of the world.

Also, I saw a herd of giant eland. That was pretty much awesome, and is far and away the high point of a very sobering day thus far.

Be safe, you're doing a great thing.

I am at a job site in Vietnam. So a snake hauling ass with some Vietnamese in tow. The snake went under some connex boxes and disappeared. They said it was a cobra.
Now I hate walking thru brush around the site.

Had to google eland... What an awesome beast

My dad always said the kraits were the ones to fear over there. They called them "one steppers". If bitten, you took a step away, lit a cigarette, and waited to die.
