So during the day at one point I catch my wife watching a documentary on the king cobra.  I didn’t see all of it but the part that I did see made me appreciate the fact I don’t live in the wilds of the animal kingdom.

Here’s the set up, guy cobra moves in and makes his move on a lady cobra.  They check each other out, like what they see and proceed to do the snake nasty.  After the deed has been done and they’re done smoking their after sex cigs, another dude snake comes along.  He likes what he sees in the lady snake and challenges the first guy snake to a fight.  There are rules to the fight with the number one being no biting the other snake.  The challenge ends with the first snake losing and so he slithers off.  The winner then goes to the lady snake looking for a little wining action, but she’s having none of it.  She’s already satisfied from the first snake and just wants to be left alone.  So do know what happens next?  Do you know what the jerk guy snake does?  He bites her and chokes her to death!  She fights back, but she just can’t win with the other snake on her neck and pumping venom in to her.  But it doesn’t end there… oh no.  After she’s dead, he then eats her.  Holy crap!  I couldn’t believe it (and couldn’t watch)!  I know there are bugs and such where the lady eats the guy after sex and such but I’d never heard of this before.

I’m so glad that having some jerk face killing my wife after sex or my wife killing me even!  I know, I’m not saying it’s impossible… I’m just saying it’s way down on my list of things to worry about.
