Sensationialist killer python program on now. Anything for ratings...

I was steaming..ridiculous, what else can be said

So, you think that the people who have been attacked by these snakes are lying, or just the reasoning behind why these snakes attack is rediculous? I don't know I thought the explanations was right. I don't know...that's just my opinion.

probably 15% of what they actually show is educational. its basically for little kids and people who couldnt seperate a burm from a corn snake. The reason those shows exist is for shock factor, because it's definetly not for anyone who's looking to benefit and learn something through watching the tube. I rather watch Jerry Springer and laugh than watch that garbage and get pissed off. Thats why I ordered myself the NGC channel. Much better. Planets funniest animals? Are you kidding?

A machete(sp) can't cut an anaconda, but the guys bare teeth can. That show was ridiculus. I liked the part when the scrub killed the dog and tried to eat the child.

Well, the reason that the machete couldn't cut the snake is because the snake was under water, and are jaw can exert quite amount of pressure and the pressure is spread over smaller area, the teeth, than the machete. Here's an example, the sharp pointed tip of a sharp pin has a very small surface area, and if you press it down on a wood or a flesh it will go through easily because the pressure is apply to smaller surface area, but if you were to exert the same amount of pressure on a blunt pin you probably need to exert more force to get it through the wood or flesh. That's why we don't need to push hard on a very sharp needle. Simple physics.

Is that the one with the reenactment of the retic attempting to pull the extremely fat woman down through the hole in the outhouse? Cause that would have to be my personal favorite of all time.
