    But they don't have the boomslang. The only deadly snake thought harmless
    until it bit one of the world's leading herpetologists and he keeled over
    dead. It now makes the top ten in lethality.

    It would also make a cool name for a bike.

    "Dude, cool ride. What is it?"

    "Seven Boomslang."

    Interesting. Thanks. That could be a cool name for a kid. ;-)

    Damn, Lafferty, it's bad enough with the constant discussions
    of lawsuits on rbr, and now you're passing the off-season by
    posting pictures of lawyers?

    Sorry, I don't even like lawyer jokes that much, but you can't just
    leave straight lines lying around. It was an attractive nuisance,
    like a mailbox just sitting waiting to be whacked with a bat...

    That's Dutch (or Afrikaans in this case) for tree snake.

    Which makes sense since it is a snake that lives in trees. When Seven
    makes the Boomslang, which I'm sure they will, they will market it in S.
    Africa and Holland under a different model name. I'm going to suggest they
    use the name Apple Krait.

    It still just rolls off the tongue. Boomslang. I just love the image of
    the world renowned herpetologist picking up the lowly boomslang and saying
    to his assistant something like "This, my dear fellow, is the harmless
    boomslang." <chomp>

    They *really* blend in:

    I'm partial to Wagler's Vipers. There's several colour variations:
