Default Idiot Lights Live Snake On Fire, So The Snake Gets Revenge

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/03/23...e-set-on-fire/



TEXARKANA, TEXAS – Authorities say a northeast Texas woman recently learned a hard lesson: Don't try to kill a snake by setting it on fire.



The woman was cleaning the yard outside a home near Texarkana Wednesday night when she spotted a snake. Bowie County Sheriff's Capt. David Grable says she poured gasoline on the snake to try to kill it. Her son then dropped a lit match on the snake.



The engulfed snake slithered into some brush nearby the home. Grable says the brush ignited and started a fire that destroyed the home and damaged one next door.



Both homes were vacant, and no one was injured.



Grable says most snakes are harmless if left alone.

It would be be funnier if the snake:
  • were venomous
  • bit them both
  • then burned down the house
  • and survived to piss on the ashes.





The snake has the right to live and that's a hell of a way to go.

Snakes are cool and sh*t like this pisses me off.

I own a Tarantula, people get SO FREAKED out when they see it. I actually had one lady who came over to buy a dresser from me, she saw the spider and started to scream and ran out of the house!? (It's in a terrarium!) I don't understand why so many people are afraid of snakes and spiders!? I promise you they just want to be left alone, and would rather run away than bite you. If you provoke it, that's when trouble happens!

D'aww. Killing things with fire is very cruel. The only thing it's good for, is getting rid of ants/mosquitoes/midgies, as you can use a deodorant flamethrower to kill them without marking any paint behind it.
