Bad enough on the ground, but in the AIR??
As a confirmed snakeophobe, I was sure the story I noticed last week about the military studying "flying snakes" was a farce, a satire from some creative web site.
But Noooooooooooo! Here's a National Geographic video about them.
The video dialogue is not in English, but who cares. All I needed to see is that in Southeast Asia there are snakes that fly. And what you want to bet some of them are stowing away right this minute in the cargo hold of a plane, one that will make a stop at Maxwell AFB here in Montgomery.
Happy dreams!

Actually the flying snake is quite graceful--so long as it's on the other side of a camera lens and safely encased in a DVD or whatever.

Ooops! That was me, your trusty Senior Associate Executive Editor.
