I have absolutely no problem with it. It’s part of their culture. ---

Mmm, I can vouch that originally, there was no photo on the link, but now there is, so I do think it is confirmed! 1/2 a ton! How “big” was the fake Anaconda supposed to be in that silly movie? ---

I misread the thread title and thought it said “Monty Python found!” My hopes were dashed after reading the story and seeing the picture. It appears as if the entire comedy troupe was swallowed by this creature.
