When I was a little kid I heard the saying: "Red and yellow kill a fellow. Red and black, venom lack."
I have been in innumerable arguments with people over this saying. A few people know similar sayings, and most of them just say that isnt how they heard it but those are the correct colors. However I have spent hours of my life bickering with people over which color combination is venomous. At this point I absolutely have no doubt my color set is correct because I have looked it up so many times, but I know far too many people who, based on their sayings, would freak out if a false coral was around, or would go pick up a coral snake...
Oh, wow... I was just looking them up... It seems that due to so few bites they are no longer going to produce antivenom, and the current stock runs out in 2010. Meaning that they are now going to be even more dangerous.
