Why that no good BAST#R%! My Bio teacher liked to spew a variety of theories in class that weren’t in the book…I wonder how much of my education was compromised because of this…

Incidently this was a college Bio class-So this pisses me off a little more than it would if it were highschool (where I would NOT have had to pay for it).

Another issue: Many venomous snakes will bite their prey, inject poison, and then just wait. The animal may take a while to die, and may be able to get some distance away, but the snake can easily track the scent of its own venom, and eventually catches up.
