I was on a retreat with my youth group this weekend and I heard this story from one of the kids there. it was so far-fetched that I had to post it. no wonder people hate snakes.

"When you're sleeping in the dessert you have to be careful because anacondas will try to eat you. If an anaconda is trying to eat you remain completely still. They eat you from the feet first, I don't know why, but they always do. When the anaconda gets to your waist, slowly remove your knife (like you would be sleeping with a knife ) and put it in its mouth. Slice the top of the mouth and the anaconda is dead."

Uneducated people get on my nerves.

That is rude!! Andaconda's don't even live in the desert!

Thats sick. Anacondas dont eat feet first, they go for the head..if hes gonna tell a retarded story like that he could atleast get that part rite, besides it would make for a better story. You see, after the anaconda swallows your head you gnaw your way out of his belly. Its the only way.

Yes siree bob! Them dad blamed desert anacondas are worse that the ones that live in the swamps!
They are almost as bad as those arctic snow pythons!

Don't get me started on the artic snow pythons! Did you know they used to be the antartic snow pythons but they migrated because moles learned to play dead and then they eat them from inside out? Not to mention they pooped on their belly and made them halitosis
