snakes on a plane... to heaven??? Sunday, July 13, 2008


These folks are cr-aaaaaa-zy! CNN reports that more than 100 deadly snakes were confiscated from the home of pastor Gregory James Coots (yes that's really his last name.) Coots is the pastor of the Full Gospel Tabernacle in Jesus Name (yes that's really the "church's" name) in Middleboro, Kentucky (thank God I live in Tennessee) where snake-handling is a regular part of the weekly services. Apparently some of the more exotic and deadly snakes were imported from Asia and Africa, which prompted one of my new favorite quotes - ever - from Kentucky Zoo Director Jim Harrison, who is taking in the snakes, "You can purchase anything off the Internet except common sense." You said it Jim!
