The Python Challenge (You don't need a computer for this one) [Article]

When I first read the words, "The Python Challenge", I presumed it was a website that taught you to write computer code. This is something else - Florida, US, apparently has had a pestilence of Burmese pythons, who can grow to be 23 foot long & about 200 pounds heavy! Because the python's head remains active for about an hour after it is chopped off, you can still have a painful bite from a severed head. The recommended pest control action is firing a pressurized bolt into its brain or shooting it in the head with a gun.
