Tell your dad that less than 20 people have been killed by pythons in the last THIRTY years, while about 20 people PER YEAR are killed by the family dog. Ask him when he will get rid of his dog, before it attacks and kills him. Then you can tell him the shows are 90% made up for ratings, just like most TV shows. They show Bigfoot programs on the History channel for FSM's sake. Believing TV shows is akin to believing the tabloids in the grocery store.
