Well I just cancelled my trip to the Qadamgah district in Neishabour.
Posted by: slowlayne | October 19, 2004 at 06:06 AM
I am first. My life is full.
Posted by: Chris | October 19, 2004 at 06:07 AM
I don't know what's worse, two-headed snakes, or people who back-form perfectly good words like species because they actually think "specie" seems more correct. Gah.
Posted by: golfwidow again | October 19, 2004 at 06:09 AM
". . . the snake was discovered by residents of Qadamgah district in Neishabour who found it different from the usual two-headed snakes . . ."
Yawn; another day, another jihad, another two-headed snake; Allah, this place is s-o-o-o boring.
Posted by: Lairbo | October 19, 2004 at 06:14 AM
If I had found a two-headed snake first, I would have made it a NO headed snake reeeallly fast.
Posted by: Zaphod | October 19, 2004 at 06:17 AM
Carn sarnit! I was planning to visit the Qadamgah district in Neishabour right after my trip to the winky-removal district in Thailand.

Two-headed snake? Sort of like the Congress?

Rita,
Most?

Fabulous journalism.
Except for the part where the writer neglects to tell you what kind of snake it is...
Posted by: jamester | October 19, 2004 at 06:24 AM
I think they just made up the story to sell the "snake t-shirts," "snake boots" and "snake snares" in the ads on the left side of the page.
Posted by: bbescuela | October 19, 2004 at 06:29 AM
My suggestion is to send the two-headed, venomus, no-kind, snake to thailand's winky-removal district and make it cheat. And be nice to me, I'm a virgin poster. Which might BAGNFARB.

Biggest problem with a two-headed snake, what if one wants to be paid a retainer while the other will work on a contingency basis?

Quote from Zaphod's article:And that's assuming that both heads are hungry at the same time, and both are interested in pursuing the same prey.How can two heads that share the same stomach be hungry at different times?
Posted by: reneviht | October 19, 2004 at 06:42 AM
reneviht - It's too early for philosophical questions like that. If a two-headed snake's stomach growls in the forest, and no one is around to hear it, does it make a noise?
Posted by: MOTW | October 19, 2004 at 06:49 AM
maybe we could get the bengal tiger that's on the loose to check out the 2-headed snake.....

And what are we to do when we encounter a two-headed, three-armed man?
Posted by: cuzn ed | October 19, 2004 at 06:57 AM
Rita ducks for reasons unknown
they say they have two-headed snakes
and though I've never seen them
they're NOT like me, I have two heads
with narry a brain between 'em
Posted by: mudstuffin | October 19, 2004 at 07:01 AM
cuzn ed - Well, I suggest inviting him to dinner at the Restaurant at the End of the Universe. Your treat, of course.
Posted by: Zaphod | October 19, 2004 at 07:01 AM
Head one: You're still here?! Quit following me!
Head two: Listen sparky ... you're the one following me
Head one: Am not. Everytime I look to my right, you're there ... breathing down my spine.
Head two: Well everytime I go to rub chins with a lady snake you're right there on my left trying to get in on the action.
Head one: Fine. Tell you what, you go that way (points tongue to right) and I'll go the other way. And you can rub chins with as many snakettes as you like, k?
Head two: Fine. Good riddance.
Head one: Yeah, whatever.
*Sound of snake stretching apart ... followed immediately by the sound of two heads smacking together ... hard*
Moral of the story ... Even with two heads, males are still not that bright.
*cheesy smile*

As Darwin said "Things evolluted"
But two-head snakes are convoluted
When did species become specie?
That sounds like a load of fecie
The dihydrogen oxide must be polluted
Posted by: slowlayne | October 19, 2004 at 07:26 AM
I think it would die because it wouldn'y have enough energy to support two heads, because it only has ne stomach. But it can eat twice as fast.

Just logged on I am sorry to inform Chris that 2nd is not first. Keep trying little trooper.
Posted by: PeeJay | October 19, 2004 at 07:46 AM
MOTW - I want an answer to that one too. The follow-on would be if SHE passed gas in the forest, would anyone hear?
Punky - if you weren't so adorable, that cheesy smile wouldn't get you anywhere. Besides, the gender of the snake was NOT noted in the article.
So.....
Head one: What is it that you want? Why don't you go find your own clearance sale!
Head two: What's the matter, dear. Max out your credit card getting botox treatments?
Head one: I don't need botox. But everytime I look to my right, you're there. Watching me. I bet you tell all the other girls at the Salon everything I do.
Head two: No chance of that. What you do is of no interest to anyone but you honey!
Head one: Fine. Tell you what, you go that way (points tongue to right) and I'll go the other way. Then you can slither back to the gutter you came from.
Head two: Fine. Good riddance.
Head one: Yeah, whatever.
*Sound of snake stretching apart ... followed immediately by the sound of two heads smacking together ... hard*, again and again and again and again
Moral of the story ... Even with two heads, blonds are still not that bright.

Slowlayne - Good one, as usual.

There once was a snake named Dan,
he had 2 heads and no plan,
while arguing which way to scoot,
he (they?) were caught and made into boots,
and nobody gave a damn.

MOTW -- I am honored to be included!
And as far as the gender of the snake....I thought it was a foregone conclusion that anything with 2 heads was male.
*ducks*
Posted by: slyeyes | October 19, 2004 at 09:19 AM
..and by the way, Punky, the visual of the snake going in differnt directions only to be snapped back is hysterical. I've been trying to find a link to a BC cartoon with the Big Fat Broad (is that her name) whapping the heck out of a snake, but I've had no luck.

I believe her name is "fat chick"
Posted by: PeeJay | October 19, 2004 at 09:24 AM
Snakes operate a good deal by smell, and if one head catches the scent of prey on the other's head, it will attack and try to swallow the second head... and that's when Christobol loses a sale... pity about that
Mudstuffin.. Google's got nothing, but it sounds vaguely Monty Python or Goon Show-ish

slyeyes:
I believe the gals in B.C. are "Fat Broad" and "Cute Chick." Seems like I heard they don't refer to her as Fat Broad anymore because of too many complaints from overly-sensitive (i.e., no sense of humor) readers.

Thanks for trying. That was pretty arcane. The line came from "Waiting for the Electrician or Someone Like Him" by the Firesign Theater. They made albums (LPs, that is) of Python-esque comedy in the sixties.
Posted by: mudstuffin | October 19, 2004 at 09:38 AM
OK, this seems like a pretty threadbare discussion.
Er, uh, I mean, how's everybody doing? Haven't "seen" y'all in quite some time...

Punky, even guys wouldn't attempt to separate their two heads (as your snake anecdote suggests). [Punky suggestive? nawwww] Surely you've noticed an amazing cooperation between males' duel heads?
And did anyone else find it amusing that bratRobert McMillan has graced us? And who is Johncarry, and why is he using Dave Barry's e-mail? Inquiring minds want to know if we are having a visitation (or if someone is committing sacrilege).
