no comment...

that's......terrifying! never heard of that before. but really though, i pity the fool that "discovers" that thing.

Wow dell.... that story is pretty crazy!


Bad thing about this is I bet people end up using this as a reason to ban snakes... Before you know it someone will explain that a hatchling burmese python, set loose in South Florida, given the right temperatures, could easily turn into this 2500 lb beast....

Ancient Snake Was Longer Than a Bus


(Feb. 4) - Never mind the 40-foot snake that menaced Jennifer Lopez in the 1997 movie "Anaconda." Not even Hollywood could match a new discovery from the ancient world. Fossils from northeastern Colombia reveal the biggest snake ever discovered: a behemoth that stretched 42 to 45 feet long, reaching more than 2,500 pounds.
"This thing weighs more than a bison and is longer than a city bus," enthused snake expert Jack Conrad of the American Museum of Natural History in New York, who was familiar with the find.

Yup, saw that on Fox News. My roommate thought it was still alive but one look at the picture told me that the creature in the background was prehistoric.
