Reactions in social circle

[The Golem]

It's not 30' now and won't ever be. If any snake were to reach 30', with actual verifiable proof and not hearsay or forced perspective, I'd hand over my next 3 pay checks. There have been no verified recorded cases of snakes reaching or exceeding 30' of any species, just tales of such snakes.

I completely agree! But that line was included in the article at legit news sites. It's very irresponsible reporting and just seems to be inserted for shock value; it is irrelevant to the story.

It's like saying, "A 4 month old jack russell terrier has been stolen. Some dogs can grow to 44" paw to shoulder and weigh up to 130 pounds".
