What a bizarre story. Pretty high stakes getting taipans and death adders to bite your daughter....unless you didn't like her for some reason.

 

[Crystal..Discus]

I love this article.

Brings a smile to my face.

Hahaha i like the comment "Does he now go under the trademark 'snake-less man'?".

 

[Carnelian]

haha, love it.

Still don't get how anyone can register the words "snakeman" when you can be guaranteed every snake catcher who gets a name for him/herself in an area would no doubt be called that.

"Revenge is a dish best served cold" ... someone famous said (Klingon proverb) for those Star Trek fans out there also it's mentioned in Kill Bill.

Thank you mje, it's always good to know the origins.

 

[Renenet]

That's very funny.

Incidentally, sloppy journalism if readers had to alert The Examiner to something easily found through a quick Google search! Maybe I should tell Media Watch?

The first written appearance of the proverb "revenge is a dish best served cold" is often wrongly credited to the novel Les liaisons dangereuses (1782); it does not, in fact, appear there in any form. Its earliest identified appearance in European literature is in the 1841 French novel Mathilde by Marie Joseph Eugène Sue: la vengeance se mange très-bien froide — there italicized as if quoting a proverbial saying — published in Spain translation in 1846 as revenge is very good eaten cold.


And used in Francis Ford Coppola's 'The Godfather'; "My Father used to say that revenge is a dish best served cold." - Michael Corleone.

Not to mention the idea was used by Will Shakespeare as the foundation of 'Hamlet', where Hamlet bides his time to sek revnge on his uncle for murdering his fathr and taking his mother as wife.

As for Hoser, I think his claims and cries about 'snakeman' being his intelctual property (or what ever lever of copyright) are not really about to be rspected givn his fall from th pedestal.
