I'm just interested in what you said and not guilty. I cannot define every ladies character based on few experience, that will not be fair. we have terrible ladies and amazing ones too. So don't categorize everyman with the very few experiences you've had. Its also very wrong to have judged me. You don't even know me.

TrapQueen77:


Maybe 1 out of hundred .
It's like finding a needle in the ocean

You gave you a wrong impression about men. your Dad brothers or ex's

The Christmas season is here again, usually economic activities rise and people travel alot to be with family friends and loved ones. This thread is aimed at informing those traveling with the current cost of transport which will aid in preparations.

Swiming competition, when you cannot pay ladies that won Gold medal in foot ball, he refused to even see them. This man sha

APC are more concerned with propaganda than fixing this country.

That might have been a dead snake.
Let me give you another example, in August 2014 in Thailand, a snake whose head had been cut off (completely decapitated) and was lying carelessly on the kitchen table in a snake soup kitchen (trust Asians and snake soup).
The decapitated head suddenly sprang to life and sank its fangs into the chef's arm.
The chef was dead before he got to the hospital.
The Thai Doctors also attributed the decapitated snake head's action to reflex action.
You may google it to find out more. See a post below

Yes, by reflex action. Its better to cut and destroy the head completely.
There was a story of a Palm Wine Tapper, around Festac Town Lagos, who saw a tasty looking snake, when he was about to climb a tree to tap palm wine in the buffer zone, along 2nd Avenue, that separates Festac Town from the Lagos-Badagry Expressway.
The Palm wine tapper killed the snake and put it into his Palm wine tapper's bag, because he felt it could be stolen before he comes down the tree.
While up the tree, the reflex action of the dead snake sprang to life and it gave the palm wine tapper a deadly bite on the chest, very close to the heart.
The Palm wine tapper died before he arrived at the hospital and the Doctor on duty attributed the quick death to the rapid spread of the snake's venomous poison to the whole body by the pumping action of the heart, which was close to the spot he was bitten.


Moral of the story: always cut off and destroy a dead snake's head as it can still deliver fatal bites by reflex action.

Thank you, well understood but that was not a dead snake. Something which is dead does not come back to life, The palm wine tapper felt he had killed the snake but the snake was never dead. The moral makes sense tho.

GourmetChef:


Actually, a snake can still bite even after it's killed.

The reason is simple: snakes have extremely sloooooow metabolisms: they use energy very slowly. This means that their brains don't completely or immediately die and are still capable of activity from residual oxygen in the blood up to 30 minutes after bodily death. Thus, a snake's head can strike even after it has been cut off.

Search the internet. There are many stories of snakes biting people after they've supposedly been killed.

Thanks for taking out time to explain, will search and read about it. Cheers!

AgreatMan:


Yep. A case happened in one of those game reserve in SA. The white boy spent 4 days in coma, was playing with a dead black mamba. D tin be like play, but e no funny o.

The young man may have scratched the fang of the snake and the venom passed into his system not that he was bitten by the dead snake.

dljbd1:

Yeah...being dead does not mean it's venom is dried na. Even after months of being dead it's venom is still as potent as ever. Please take caution while handling it. A scratch from its fangs is enough to kill you.
#truth

Yeah agreed, you could scratch the fang and venom will pass, but not that the dead snake will bite you. In fact the venom could be transferred in various ways i get that.

sod09:
sure even wen d head is cut off... Day store venom in dere fangs

Yeah i agree with you they store venom but cannot bite when dead tho

sod09:
black mamba I think
do u know d snake can still kill u guys d way u were holding nd snapping... a bite is enough even wen dead

A bite even when dead??

Anger, very terrible thing.

6 men (including the photographer) and non has the wisdom to advise that this is so risky.

Thank God its NDLEA, if he got to china and was caught, its a death sentence

Sadly true, the president and his administration is frustrating the efforts of individuals, lots of businesses are folding up because of low patronage. I was speaking with a friend recently and he told me he had to close his shop and focus on something else because of low patronage funny part is he sells food stuff in large quantities which means people don't eat as much as they used to sad sad.

So any news on Snakes makes it to the front page?
