just realized he turned 100 years old this year,wow!

Just shows what the effect of venom will do.
Just kidding, I remember meeting him long ago, and he's a very nice guy.

If he celebrates his birthday THIS year he will be 100.

His birthdate is 12/30/1910. He just turned 99.

I think he meant that he "turns" 100 this year, instead of saying "turned".

I wouldn't dismiss the possible beneficial effects of all that cobra venom so lightly. Not only is Bill almost 100, but he is also far sharper and overall healthier-looking (and acting) than most people 30 years his junior!

I remember reading "Cobras in his Garden" back in elementary school in the 60s-Bill was middle-aged then. Now I'M middle-aged, and he's still going strong! Amazing.

I am positive that he could no longer handle snakes because of the damage to his hands from bites.I think some venoms are going to prove very useful in the future,some have already.The one thing that has never been able to be over come is the necrotic effects of venom it's self.It can be a booger.

I always appreciate the pics of what venom can do. It reminds us of real circumstances of venom.
