from reuters . . .

#Dudu Meah, a Bangladeshi snake charmer, holds deadly young #cobras near Dhaka on April 30, 2002. Called in to find two #serpents in a suburban home near the capital, Meah unearthed #over 3,000 cobras and hundreds of eggs.

actually I think it's a picture of W. from his cocaine period, but it can't be independently verified now, can it?

I wonder if they actually sat there (or stood) and counted all those snakes. Or if they did what most humans end up doing, which is making a wild guess and then doubling it.

I just can't imagine them sitting there "Whew... two thousand three hundred three... two thousand three hundred four..."

If most of the snakes are about the same size or can be broken down into size groups, you just weigh the whole mess and divide by average weight.

My God!! It's times like this when I feel like a total idiot for not even getting close to thinking of that. :rolleyes: You should get a job counting things or something.

Maybe thats how they counted the election votes in Florida!! Some guy threw the results off tho because he ticked with a pen using heavy ink!! :D

Ok, thats enough saying weird things for one day....
