This is precisely why you don't mix ginourmous predators with small children. As a father, I like snakes but I'd never dream of having a big or even moderately sized one in the same house as my two year old for that reason.

To give this a hilarious, semi-related spin-- my friend had a chihuahua. The chihuahua was snatched up by an owl and never seen again. Despite the fact that I feel bad when cute animals die, I couldn't help but lol about it.

Not only is that not right, that's not even wrong. It's a meaningless statement. Saying something is "one molecule away" from plastic is like saying a farm is one letter away from a fart. Water is "one molecule away" from being explosive hydrogen gas.

Well that's okay because Chihuahuas suck.

Did you see it get grabbed? Or did your friend at least?

I guess the owl must have been in the mood for mexican food that day.

They say that at the rate people release them and increasingly warm temperatures around that area, Florida may soon have 16+ foot long pythons. They're already becoming serious pests and current generations are pushing the six and seven foot range.

I'm more concerned about the population of old people in Florida. With their cars they kill a lot more people than pythons.

*Wince* Poor child.

I vividly remember a column Dave Barry once wrote about this exact phenomenon. Oddly enough, he of course lives in Florida. (This was from back in the early 90s, possibly even then 80s.) Can't find it online, but I did just read it in one of his book collections.

I once strangled a child to death with my 24-inch pythons. That's what you get for trying to cut me in line for Skee Ball, brother!

The arcades I went to always had ample Skee-ball lanes, so cutting was never an issue. But occasionally some motherfucker would try to take MY tickets. Then bad things happened.

Man, I would love to play Skee-ball again but unfortunately I don't think there's any place I can play it where I won't look like a pedophile being there without kids of my own.

You could also try taking your horde of accumulated prize tickets way too seriously. Snarl at kids that look at them, rip them viciously out of the machine and put them in a safe place when Chuck E. Cheese gets too close to them (and swear loudly about rodents), keep a running tally about how many more tickets you need (and an estimated date of accumulating them) for that 40-key battery-powered Casio keyboard and mumble about it semi-coherently, swipe them from unsuspecting kids who have their backs turned, etc.

Yes, he saw the owl swoop down adn grab it. He was shocked at first but now kind of just laughs about it. The only actual heartbreaking thing about it was that it was his mom's dog, and a week later his mother died. Not of heartbreak, but meh.
