Intersting show on Discovery tonight "Anatomy of a snakebite", should be repeated if you missed it? Biomechanical look at constrictors among other things "proving" death is a result of circulatory shutdown as opposed to lack of oxygen. Large boids produce inexcess of 30psi of pressure, enough to stop the heart, and blow out you eyes! Also at the correct angle "snap" the neck of a human. Featured that american chap (Lou something ??) who was killed (but revived) by his 23 ft retic. Beware, lots of scary music to build up suspense :wink:
