    cold = super snakes :S
    Actually what I was hearing after the last cold snap was that the larger snakes were dying. The larger snakes with more body mass were not able to warm up to a decent temperature during the day and so were perishing, while the smaller snakes with less mass WERE able to warm up during the day and so they survived. It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out over the next 20 years or so.

    This just means they will not live very long. The only small pythons in the Neverglades are the young ones. As far as anyone knows, there's no evidence of dwarfing genes in the Florida population.

    Sums up my thoughts on this. As usual, the environmental alarmists are always wrong. The snakes are not going to be dying off in vast numbers because they are not there in vast numbers.

    So what you'll have then is essentially a dog or cat tail that has a head and crawls around, or a scarf with a face. Sounds fashionable.

    Not fur, feathers. I also heard that they found a small one that appeared to have developed small front limbs. In a few generations they will be able to fly. Soon we will have 30 foot warm blooded feather covered flying snakes...dear god the humanity

    there are genetically modified pets now. its on the rise. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GloFish
    The Big Bang almost certainly (beyond reasonable doubt) happened 13.7 billion years ago. If you disagree, send me a PM.
    Evolution is a fact, evolutionary theory explains why it happens and provides four different lines of evidence that coalesce to show that evolution is a fact. If you disagree, send me a PM.
    One third of the global economy relies on technology that is based on quantum mechanics, especially quantum electrodynamics (electron-photon or electron-electron interactions). If you disagree, send me a PM.
    Time Dilation is real, it is so real that all clocks if they are precise enough can measure it, and GPS could not possibly work without it.
    If you disagree, send me a PM.

    The 4 philosophically most important aspects of modern science are: Evolutionary theory, Cosmology, Quantum mechanics, and Einsteins theory of general relativity. Understand these to get a grip of reality.
