Talking about snake stories:
The deadliest snake is one with a gun
By Paul Sieveking
A CHINESE hunter trying to catch a snake was fatally shot by the irate serpent last June. The man named Li and his brother came across the snake while returning from a hunting trip on a mountain near Li Bian village in Huang Jin county, Shanxi province.
Li, attempting to add the snake to his hunting bag, placed the butt of the gun on its head. The snake then coiled itself round the gun and lashed the trigger with its tail. Li was shot in the buttocks and died on the way to hospital.
A similar accident took place in Iran six years earlier. Ali-Ashgar Ahani, 27, tried to catch a snake alive near Teheran in April 1990 by pressing the butt of his shotgun behind its head. The snake coiled around the butt and pulled the trigger with its thrashing tail, firing one of the barrels and shooting Ahani fatally in the head. His companion tried to grab the shotgun, but the writhing reptile triggered the other barrel.

How 'bout a snake on a Saturday night with a gun and a six-pack?
