Spoiler for spoiler reply:

Now that is what I call a real a Colt Python Magnum. Did it get injected with the T-virus in the Spencer Mansion or something?

... Please be a very small fence and/or a trick of perspective...

[Mr Hat and Clogs]

Well, the bit of re-bar holding the wire in the second picture would be about... three inch's around.

The important thing to know, that's one of the non-poison kind!

Snake that size, if it did eat sheep would only have to eat once a month or so I think.

I didn't know than they had such big snake in Australia.

[Mr Hat and Clogs]

Pythons can grow quite large, that one has recently eaten as well which makes it look even bigger (fatter) then it really is. I don't know enough about snakes to say what it is exactly but I know the largest snake in Aust (Amethystine Python) can grow up to 5 meters or more (8.5 meters recorded) buts it's more a far north Queensland coastal rainforest dweller I think - it could easily eat a sheep if inclined. There are loads of different types it could be though that are still pushing 3 meters in length.

Well... don't leave the windows open at night, eh?

Now i feel sorry for the sheep...

It took them great deal to survive through these things, but in the end, still end up as our lamb chops

Wrong country, that Snake is a South African Rock Python and that fence and picture was taken in a sheep farm locate in South Africa.

[Mr Hat and Clogs]

Still it ate sheep. Which is kinda frightening! I was thinking it might have been some foreign snake that got loose, but it being an African snake and sheep farm makes more sense. Doesn't help the picture comes up when you google Australian snakes though QQ.

Pat Robertson says Alzheimer's makes divorce OK
http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories...09-14-20-21-19

Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson told his "700 Club" viewers that divorcing a spouse with Alzheimer's is justifiable because the disease is "a kind of death."

And divorcing someone than claim such thing because it's a clear sign of being ''death brain'' ?

Wait... this totally contradicts the idiot evangelicals who carried on and on about a particular brain-dead patient.

Ah, Pat... you're insane with lots of money that poorer idiots have given you so you can influence the country to keep them poorer.

IS that ''particular dead-brain patient'' a he ? IN the case of the Alzheimer patient, he talked of the patents as a ''she''.

Should we add misogyny to the long list of defect of this ''religious '' idiot ?

[Anh_Minh]

Maybe his wife is showing early symptoms and he wants to... prepare the ground?
