Well, it looks like we've been proven wrong...?

I know I've answered the "What would happen if a snake were to swallow it's own tail?" questions with something along the lines of "A snake wouldn't swallow it's own tail, I know they're not the most intelligent animals that there are, but they're smart enough not to eat themselves..."

Well... I guess I've been proven wrong with this: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/picturegalleries/p...

(I know, I know, not a question, but still...)

    this is why i never got involved in the snake eating tail questions I think I answered one way back and loads of people gave me a thumbs down

    tail swallowing is not as rare as people think especially in kingsnake and other snake eating snakes, they mistake there own tails for that of another snake and strike.

    it crops up maybe once or twice a year on the forums i hang around on

    Well it wasn't great.... I mean come on you wrote "just a really, really, really bad pain". You don't use any words to describe your surroundings or to make any kind of emphasis on what is happening, it all seems a little rushed, within half a page, you have been shot, in a hospital, wondering if you are dead, to being ambushed by the Taliban. You could make it more realistic by mentioning real weapons that the army would use. "sub-machine guns or another type of weapon and are running outside" Lol or another type of weapon? Make it more dramatic, use some more desriptive words, make it exciting, and make it so i wan to read it instead of saying "and see about 150 of our men and about 350 Taliban soldiers." tell us who your men are... what they are doing, are they fightin, are they hiding, are they scared? are they a feirce, or ar they cowards. What are the enemy like? standing on the hill having a cig or charging down like mad men? go into more detail! oh and i tried looking for your book on the interenet and couldnt find anything....

    Unbelievable! This could be the exact type of thing that started the hoop snake myth! Truth seems to be stranger then fiction.

    Too funny, the ancient myth made real. Now if it would just roll down a hill like a hoop, I'm certain that the next thing we'll see is pigs with wings.
