Napping_With_My_Pet_Snake.jpg

And for those of us that live on earth, snakes are uncool, no matter what color they are!,......get that thing away from me......unless its cooked.....:-|
 
The poor ol snake gets a bad rap
Even the churches seem to portray them as evil But the serpent isn't even mentioned in the forbidden fruit parable
 
There's a street in Hong Kong where you go to eat.

All the shops are very similar.

The Chinese bloke from work took us to this shop which had its walls lined with storage drawers 10 deep on two sides of the room (third side was entrance and fourth side was kitchen).

We sat down at a small table close to the drawers on our side of the room (it was quite a narrow room).

The little Chinese waitress came and gave us a menu (in Chinese) , and our work mate asked, "poison or no poison ?"

The other Aussie with us said, "Poison."

Then after some discussion between the waitress and our Chinese workmate, she went to a drawer right behind us, opened it, and with a pair of snake tongs, pulled out cobra.

She waved it at our work mate, who nodded, and then she grabbed it by the neck with her free hand, dropped the tongs, drew a knife from her belt and slit the snake's throat into a little tin bowl on the table I hadn't noticed before.

After the snake had bled a reasonable amount int the bowl, she placed it on a small hotplate, and took the snake away. She was young - the more experienced waitress at the next table skinned her snake at the table ! Slit it down the middle, then grasped the head with the skin in one hand, and the spine and body in the other hand, and then just peeled the skin off the body like a farmer taking the skin off a rabbit.

Later while our Chinese workmate was trying to get us to taste the warm snake blood (mixed with a little brandy), the waitress brought out the rest of the snake chopped into little bits, deep fried and served on a bed of white rice.

I couldn't take the blood, but did taste the fried snake, and it tasted a bit like chicken !

I had two nibbles of fried snake, then stopped off at Maccas on the way home !

Once I knew what was in the drawers that surrounded me in the restaurant, I kept hearing rustlings and movements all around me all the time we were in there.

Apparently I did OK for a Gwailow for at least tasting it, but would have scored real cred points if I had tried the blood. The other Aussie with us who also had never been there, left to puke after the waitress had bled the snake ! No cred points there !

Unpleasant, but interesting experience.
 
only when your wife finds your second mobile and goes through the messeges. ...
 
For the more paranoid amongst us who prefer not to have our movements tracked, this is worth a read (nothing new if you were aware of it already): http://www.howtogeek.com/195647/googles-location-history-is-still-recording-your-every-move/

'...anyone with access to your device can add another account, turn off syncing and other apparent indications of that account, and quietly track your device from any computer with Internet access. It would a great deal more reassuring if Google would add an extra layer of security, such as an admin password or PIN, when setting up a new account, or at the very least to manipulate Location settings.'
 
That's a boat anchor H2. I am sure HP have a couple dangling off his ship.

HP, to actually prove it, we need to strap a cell phone to a lab rat 24x7 and ring the cell constantly. I am sure the rat would love the vibration.
 
I recall a 60 minutes interview a while ago where an Asiatic gentleman was convinced that mobile 'phones were causing an increase in brain cancer. Of course they also interviewed "experts" on electro-magnetic radiation who shook their heads and said, "No there is no danger".

Snag is the Asiatic gentleman in question was one Charles Teo, one of the world's leading neuro surgeons and if he is worried I am too.

No doubt those people who walk around with a 'phone constantly clamped to their heads will do an excellent job as miner's canaries and warn the rest of us if there is a problem.
 
These days I mainly use my mobile to arrange punts, so very short conversations, no endless jabbering. It'll be interesting to see how many phone-o-philiac teenage girls reach middle age.
 
It's a hidden research with the cancer concern i reckon. They can't converse publicly saying things like, Brain Tumor and Cancer to be had with your gigantus smartphones, phones are smart but it will dumb the user down. This will definitely kill quite a few industries and cause lots of job lost, economic wise not very smart to do that. They rather keep a tight lid and let the rotten egg flows to the surface one by one and maybe just maybe in 20-30 years they would finally admit, yes it did cause the said cancer. :chicken:

Kitsch (/ˈkɪtʃ/; loanword from German) is a low-brow style of mass-produced art or design using popular or cultural icons.

Sorry mass-produced art or design is no taste of mine. ;)

Ahoy;- I have been a Good Pirate Soooooo Santa is Going to Give Meeeeeeeeeeeeee
