    Ok, I'm not saying that I am any smarter than this kid or his doting parents but I think I found a clue to the "cause".

    Hmmm.....let me see....1 + 1 = .....2 ??? You and I can see it, so why can't they ?
    It never ceases to amaze me the number of people who can't do simple math.

    Member that dude from Texas like 20,25 years ago that had been bitten by a rattle snake so many times he was immune to the venom?

    This kid may be trying to break the record... damn South Africans are always trying to upstage us Americans.

    Great point, really. I know you might have made the remark tongue-in-cheek, but could you imagine an insurance provider's response to being given this information !?? Mine charged more for homeowner's simply because we had a Great Dane.

    I'd say he's snake-bit.



    That was Bill Haast, founder and Director of the Miami Serpentarium on South Dixie Highway in south Miami.

    He was working with venomous snakes since he was a young man in the 30s-40s. He was bitten well over 100 times by a variety of the most poisonous snakes in the world, including cobras.

    His blood was so saturated that it was used as an anti-venom for bite victims in Florida.
