I realize that "stupid people" news items aren't the most challenging targets in the world. I've written up a few on here and, yes, it is a nice feeling, mocking the stupid, but after enough idiotic examples they all sort of blend together and seem not that funny...

Annnnd then someone puts a rattlesnake in their mouth.

Snake collector Matt Wilkinson of Portland grabbed a 20-inch rattler from the highway near Maupin, and three weeks later, to impress his ex-girlfriend, he stuck the serpent in his mouth.


Thanks buddy, you've made me a believer again... The slack-jawed and idiotic are fine subjects to write about.

And really, what girl isn't impressed by a man willing to put a filthy, poison-filled creature into their mouth-hole? Clearly this stunt went awry, but, in a perfect world, what was the outcome he was going for? What's the desired reaction after doing something like this? Instant sex? Awkward silence before a whispered request to "stop that"? What was supposed to happen here? The world may never know.

He was soon near death with a swollen tongue that blocked his throat. Trauma doctors at the Oregon Health and Science University saved his life.


Look for the non-funny version of this scene, starring Dane Cook as the snake-bit, jerkoff trying to mumble his way through a quickly swelling mouth, next year at theatres everywhere... I would avoid those theatres.

You can assume alcohol was involved," he said. Actually, not just beer. It was something he called a "mixture of stupid stuff."


Ahhh... Nothin like chasing some "stupid stuff," with a shot of rattlesnake venom! I call it the "fucktard" and you can find it at the bar outside the theatre I mentioned above.

Wilkinson, 23, had downed a six-pack and his ex-girlfriend asked him for a beer. He handed her one, not realizing the snake was also in his hand.

"She said, 'Get that thing out of my face,'" Wilkinson said. "I told her it was a nice snake. 'Nothing can happen. Watch.'"

So he stuck the snake in his mouth.

"It got a hold of my tongue," he said.


Wait, how are you so drunk that you forget you're holding a live snake... that is alive?

And you don't immediately notice it when you pick up something else with the same hand?

I picture him running errands, brushing his teeth, petting stray dogs all before finally noticing he's still holding onto a VENEMOUS killing tube.

I'll leave you with this, drunks. Keep in mind, there are many, many non-lethal animals you can insert into your mouth with zero risk other than a possible sternly worded letter from PETA. I say, do it.



TheCoolerKing realizes that Rahodeb briefly touched on this topic earlier, however, he was unwilling to waste the 30 seconds he'd already spent pondering the subject.

I read this story when it was referred to in the previous article but I have to say, it's even funnier the second time around.

The highlight of this article is the usage of the phrase "killing tube."

I bet earlier in the day he was running around the house tearing shit up, yelling "Where's my snake? Where'd I put my snake?" and then his girlfriend said, "it's in your hand silly!" and they both had a very good laugh about it.

I need to see a picture of what an idiot like this looks like, before and after the tongue bite. As I said before, I am happy this was not a Southerner. PWT is everywhere.

I'm not sure I think doctors did the right thing when they saved his life. I think I'm going to need some convincing on that.
