    "Alacondas" eat people, guys!
    I'm speaking with a fellow who's trying to argue that snakes are dangerous when encountered one-on-one in the wild. Apparently, a 30-foot "alaconda" in Mexico chased a woman for two miles through the woods to eat her. She got away though.
    :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

    He literally tried to argue that a snake will attack unprovoked, for about 40 minutes.

    I'm dying over here.

    I did my best to educate him, but I'm afraid I cracked up laughing in has face toward the end. Animal Planet won this time...

    Like I honestly tried to show him all of the places his story erred.... but he wasn't having it. And kept going. And then I died laughing and sent him out of the store in a huff. The customer is always right, they say...

    Does it really take women 40 minutes to run ~2 miles? snake deserves the kill IMO.

    No,it takes one man 40 minutes to argue that he's right. :P

    (Joking/sexism aside though, he thought he could win that argument with someone who's studied snakes for at least a year...)

    I was talking to a coworker about seeing snakes on the property in units (we work at different storage warehouses). I was surprised he knew a handful of species of snakes and knew the snakes on the property were just rat snakes.


    ...Then he told me he just leaves them alone instead of moving them out of the storage units because they can jump on you from 30 feet away. Okay.

    He's honestly started to cheese me off.

    Mere seconds after telling him about my breeding plans for the future, he begins talking about how he would have been "sooooOOOoooo much more successful" than the Florida Burmese hunters because he would have just gone around stepping on eggs and shooting pythons in the head.

    Mere SECONDS.

    And this was on his FOURTH trip in to talk to me today.

    My 30 foot pet "Alaconda" escaped last week and ate my neighbors. It's OK though because they were annoying anyways.
