Here's One of the 5 Snake Bite Deaths We Can Expect This Year
As I recently noted, snakes only kill about 5 people a year in the U.S. and less than one of those people is likely to be a sober hiker or hunter just walking along. More likely, it's going to be someone with an exotic poisonous snake collection like this 18-year-old pet shop employee who was keeping a monocled cobra at his Austin, Texas home.

The Ignoble Deaths of American War Criminals
The Oise Aisne American Cemetary hold the remains of U.S. soldiers who died fighting in part of Northern France during World War I. Set across the street unmarked and completely surrounded by impassible shrubbery is Plot E, a semi-secret fifth plot that contains the nearly forgotten bodies of almost 100 American soldiers who were executed for rape and murder committed during and after World War II. No US flag is allowed to fly over the plot and the graves have no names and are only marked by small in-ground stones the size of index cards. Even underground, the bodies are set apart, with each body buried with its back to the main cemetery. The site does not exist on maps of the cemetery, and is not mentioned on their website.

Update on missing Cobra in Austin. A monocled cobra was found run over multiple times on the local highway. ACO suspects it is the same snake. Poor thing never stood a chance, but I guess the good news is there is one less invasive species. So far, so good. But Abbott wanted his chance at 'just another snake' the little maniac.
relieved Debi and not worried Jack/Rat Pack.
Jack Black's dogs look very similar to my two- these scruffy terrier types have pretty much been unruined...
