as soon as my grandfather saw the snake, he was enraged by the size and looked at me as a fool, at least thats what I think, the snake had 15 rattles, thats years in snake time, thinking back on the incident, its quite extraordinary, the sourrounding are hills and rocks, the snake was in the middle of flat land with high grass, the snakes head was torn frm its body,it happen just as I told my grandfather, I did it with as big stick, I was 9 years old,,as for the stick,poof,! it was gone,,..

Actually, rattlesnakes add a layer to their rattle each time they shed. Shedding can occur up to 4 times in a year. Your snake was probably much younger than 15.

Just FYI, Cojana's posts are much easier to read half-drunk.

They don't make any more sense, but you can get through them at least.

One Squirmy Snack
What is a firefighter's secret to good health? Well, for Paisit Chanta, a firefighter in central Thailand, keeping the doctor away involves eating a worm a day. He has consumed one live worm every day for almost three decades and feels this is what has kept him in good health. Paisit's strange eating habit began when he was fishing in his native village. "One day, I was sitting there waiting for a fish to eat my bait for hours and was starving. Suddenly, I realized fish don't die from eating worms so I shouldn't either. I ate them until I was full," he said. Now, he loves the wriggly creatures and even chews them instead of swallowing them whole. He often digs for his lunch in the area near the fire station where he works, despite the fact his co-workers find his habit strange and disgusting.
You understand him and agree, right Cojana?

Default It's Bright Life

and I don't suppose you would see the relevance, would you?

The point is that he took facts and made conclusions that cannot be proven, or are just silly. There is a direct parallel, Cojana. Perhaps if you looked more closely you would see it.

Actually, no. I am simply pointing out a flaw in your logic. If I was "grading your dumbs," as you call it, a parallel story would not be necessary.

Cheers,

Cool no problemo britelite,,,

member Britlite, Sir, if you don't believe my incidents,thewre are no need to explain where you think my falacies are, an honest " I don't believe you' should be used, Mr, Britelite Sir, I am a 68 year old man with nothing to do but reminise my Life, as an old man I appreaciate my integrity, seems illogical for an old man to be a previnicus prefabricator just to hold attention, I can recall incidents so out of the ordinary that I'm afraid to relate them for fear of not being believed, the stories I told previously are tales I hold dear because of thier subject matter, I am still perplexed by the missing 'stick', and still enjoy my lack of headaches, you maqy think me arrogant, but I'm proud of my mind, like yours it can do anything your able to access,(subconcious) Marve;ous.,,, :notworthy
