my next question has there been anymore since then?

heres random stats off the web...
Deaths in 2002
Falling over furniture: 785
Falling down stairs: 1,598
Falling off of ladder: 406
Drowning in bathtub: 352
Drowning in swimming pool: 636
Choking on food: 819
Bee, hornet, wasp sting: 54
Struck by lightning: 66
Accidental poisoning: 17,550

and these people are worried about pythons.... python deaths .4 deaths per year
Why are they including large constrictors on the "list" of dangerous animals anyway? This summer a small child was killed in Florida but that was parental gross negligence. Wasn't all of this dangerous animal stuff born from the "Chimp Attack" or has this always been a fight for herp owners? - Asking out of complete ignorance here, because I truly don't know, so please don't get frustrated with me : )
