Finally - Happy holidays and New Year - I've been a recluse and grinch,
busy Lasertanking on the holidays, but I always read everyone's messages.
I'm sure there's lots of others out there waiting for either a spare moment
or a juicy topic of conversation to jump in and give their two cents.
Yono, Yono! This seems genuine and it's all over the media - there's
a 50 foot 1000 pound python named Fragrant Flower captured live in Sumatra
and being held in a small zoo in Curugsewu, on the main Indonesian island
of Java. This is HUGE!!! What light can you shed on this? There's many
news articles on the web if you search "python" & "fragrant flower".
Here's the only pic I found, but has no scale to determine size:

"Pythons more than 25ft long can open their jaws wider than a human's
shoulders and therefore are able to eat a man whole." That's a cheery thought
for the New Year - one could have company while being swallowed...
