    So, apparently this person was bitten by one of his pets, he has various non-venomous & venomous snakes and as a result died from Envenomation. One of the snakes caught my attention, a 14 foot Burmese Python! Wow, that is huge... I wonder what really happened as he is 'very meticulous' in handling the pets...

    124 snakes at home? I wouldn't want to be his neighbour.
    I think this guy had more snakes - in his head. Maybe one of those bit him.

    Zero sympathy. Zero anything.

    How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is
    To have a thankless pet!

    Umm - I think that's "thankless child," isn't it? And right, King Lear would know. He had a couple of 'em - including that awful daughter whose name sounded like an STD medication. - Goneril, I think it was. Yeah -that was her name. "Gone...with Goneril!" :)

    Yep - Bad Goneril and Regan, and good Cordelia. I don't think His Majesty was the greatest at naming children. The Fool was the coolest character in the show, by a mile. I once thought a rap version of King Lear might go over, with the Fool being re-named "Foolio."

    Probably, only old-timers like me would get that, these days. "Coolio" turns 60 next year.
