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.http://www.reptile-gardens.com/reptile/topten.html
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?Ben
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>--
