Getting high and immune to poisons by injecting snake venom

Milking an array of deadly snakes including rattlesnakes and monocled cobras, with a few vipers thrown in the mix, Steve has been injecting what would for any normal human be fatal amounts venom into his body since the late 80s.

The basic principle—laid out by pioneer herpetologist Bill Haast, who died last year at the age of 100—is that regular exposure to the venom develops an immunity. Steve claims to never get ill, and that cobra venom is the ultimate pick-me-up, with effects lasting days after injecting, making Steve stronger, faster, and more resilient.

Indian snake charmer releases a bag of cobras in tax office in protest

Local bureaucrats leapt onto their desks or ran out of the building in the Northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh when Hakkul let his snakes, including some poisonous cobras, out of their bags.

“He had applied for a plot of land to keep his snakes,” Subhash Mani Tripathi, the head of land revenue administration, told AFP news agency. “But there is no provision for such a business. Instead of seeking a written reply, which we would have issued, Hakkul created panic by letting loose a bunch of snakes all over the office.”

I WANT THESE MOTHERFUCKIN SNAKES OFF MY MOTHERFUCKIN CAR

While driving down the highway at 75 mph, a couple notices that they’ve got a water moccasin as a passenger on the outside of their car. Why they didn’t just stop somewhere and let him off or put him in a container and drop him off at a creek is beyond me. 

“I want him to fall off”. I want you to choke on a bag of dicks.
