    Thanks for the link. It's interesting to note that the snake he mentioned in the interview as the most venomous snake in the world (the Inland Taipan) has the distinction of having no recorded human fatalities. *End Cliff Clavin moment* :P

    haha. I'm willing to be that in part is because of it not being common to come across and also because those that are bit don't have time to report it - and the people around don't report it if the person is dead already. Just a thought... I know it is a little common for people not to report deaths in some areas of Latin America, which is why you don't see more bushmaster fatalities (that and lack of coming in contact).
