You just ruined what's left of my morning, Alex; though I know it wasn't your intention to do so.
sorry about that. notice i didnt criticize the kid. these things happen. the guy in missouri was a grown idiot; the kid in florida was just doing what comes naturally to some of us. snakes are an 'attractive nuisance' as lawyers say, to those who like them!
