"This is going to be a fun project," said Richard Wassersug


Okay, so he enjoys tourturing animals....I believe that's a felony here.


Mr. Wassersug has already examined what some snakes do when the earth's pull disappears.
"Compared to all the other animals I've looked at, they've had the weirdest reaction," he said.

In other words....they are terrorfied.


"So what I've suggested to the students . . . is that we look at a variety of other snake-like animals."

So, he's going to take it overboard...he can make a whole new series of lame horror flicks based on the revenge of these poor animals because tourture we put them through for no good reason.

"Its head went by a loop of its body and it attacked itself," he said.

And this heartless jerk doesn't see a problem with this behavior?

"That's a hypothesis and we want to test it with a bunch more animals."

Agian, he obviously enjoys terrorizing animals.


As many as six students will help round up snakes from various sources

Okay so they are going to further deplete numbers in the wild.


Ms. Buckley said the experiment will undergo an animal review to ensure placing the snakes in zero-gravity isn't cruel.

They're joking right....I mean do they really have to ask?


"It's not the greatest thing that's happened to the snake, but it's certainly by no stretch of the imagination the worst thing," she said.


The snake probably would disagree with this statement.
