Snakes near the drain: Yours for ten thousand, sir

Forget Snakes On A Plane, how about snakes near the drain? This Texas man managed an impressive 45 minutes in a bath with 87 rattlesnakes, a world record. One can’t imagine Samuel L. Jackson attempting the same feat.

Jackie Bibby, who lays understandable claim to the title ‘Texas Snake Man’, says the key to his survival lay in not moving. Sounds simple enough. Readers wanting to imitate the feat should head direct to this man, Scott Fitts of Jasper, Georgia – it’ll cost you nearly $9,000, not including the bathtub or shipping. British readers would be well advised to take advantage of the pound’s 26-year high against the dollar, a currency imbalance which translates to 87 rattlers for about four grand. (That’s nearly 6,000 Euros.)
