Snake

Many people are afraid of snakes, even people with a well-developed awareness of the environment and the natural world. This is unfortunate: the average snake that turns up in a backyard or on a pond shore (or even in a cellar) should not be regarded as any more frightening than a chipmunk. We hope that this publication will dispel some of the fear of snakes... a fear rooted in a lack of accurate information. We think that most people, once equipped with a little knowledge and understanding of these beautiful, interesting and inoffensive animals, will find that there is nothing left to fear.
Snakes are elongate, legless, carnivorous reptiles of the suborder Serpentes that can be distinguished from legless lizards by their lack of eyelids

Snake Fossil

Dr Jonathan Bloch looks through fossils of giant snake

Scientists have found a 67 million-year-old fossil of a snake coiled around dinosaur eggs and a hatchling.
Scientists in Colombia have discovered the fossils of a snake that grew up to 15m long around 60-million years ago Scientists believe It was the mother of all snakes, a nightmarish behemoth as long as a school bus and as heavy as a Volkswagen Beetle that ruled the ancient.
The find not only sheds new light on snake evolution; it also provides telling insights on climate. The snake flourished about 58 million to 60 million years ago. Because Titanoboa cerrejonensis, as it has been named, was coldblooded, the tropical climate had to be 6 to 8 degrees warmer than it is today for a snake that large to survive, said evolutionary biologist Jason Head of the University of Toronto at Mississauga, lead author of a paper on the fossils appearing today in the journal Nature.

Chinese Snake Curse Trailer Insanity

Now here's a movie after my own heart: Snake Curse. A berserk Chinese killer snake monster movie that promises to deliver maximum amounts of kung fu, snake fu, snake woman fu, and Gordon Liu. Every one of you has got to watch this trailer, too.

You remember Gordon Liu, don't you? He's the long time Hong Kong martial arts films star most Western audiences might remember best in the dual roles of Johnny Mo and Master Pei Mei in Kill Bill. I think he's playing a villain in Snake Curse. I think. The trailer for this film is so freaking insane it's hard to tell what's going on outside of Asians kicking other Asians as hand puppet snakes bite other Asians' faces.

The plot for Snake Curse revolves around a mad scientist experimenting on snakes. Right there you know trouble is brewing. You never see a movie about a scientist experimenting on snakes that ends with everyone still alive and a cure for cancer being discovered. This particular mad scientist also blends human DNA with snake DNA to breed himself a living breathing half-woman/half-snake. Again, never something that ends in a positive. Or does it? The end result judging by the trailer is a whole lot of kung fu fighting, rubber snake biting, a Medusa monster on the loose, and a gigantic smile on my face. This looks simply amazing. Golden Bat amazing!

According to 24 FPS, the movie was originally made back in 1995 but is only now getting noticed because it will be receiving a long overdue theatrical run in mainland China next month. What little info I've been able to find indicates the movie was made in 2004. I don't care when it was made or where it's getting released so long as a copy of it ends up in my hands sooner rather than later.

Watch the trailer, everyone. Bask in the awesomeness of Snake Curse. If the movie proves to be as entertaining as this trailer then Citizen Kane may be about to lose its title as the greatest motion picture ever made.
