The Bedford Street snake is another good example of how unobservant people are and both snakes show how bad the news service was and is.

Well, big snakes are scary and most people would prefer not to think about them.

I hope you're not referring to the news because look what they put on that.

Hey, I was just thinking of books and other media in general. As for scaryness, politics and other things involving people sell better. Stories about snakes don't really have 'legs.'

Most people seem to prefer hearing about other people.

This book mentions this movie. Says its some times ranked as one of the worst movies of all time and that it may have contributed to the thunderbird lore.

Oops, this one is quite the 'golden turkey.' This is interesting. According to Wikipedia: A character in The Giant Claw mistakes the menacing bird for la Carcagne, said to be a monster resembling a giant woman with a wolf's head and bat-like black wings and which, like the banshee, is a harbinger of death. Hmm, I think that those may be turkey feathers.

This book says it was unleashed on modern America either from an "antimatter galaxy" or the year 17 million B.C.E.. What's up with that?

Last night I started reading this book but not from the beginning. I skipped right to Chapter 5: Snakes in the Grass. There was no account given for the one giant dead snake that I seen at Peach Orchard (what me and hunting friend called the area) right below Big Spring Reservoir (located between Johnstown and Seward) partially draped over a road blocking gate. There where however accounts given of them in the same regions and the accounts do show one defining characteristic of the giant snakes here. A couple of the accounts mention a ring that is NOT the defining characteristic that I'm referring to.

A ring?

A few of the accounts mentioned a ring around some part of the snake. It may or may not be true. I don't recall seeing a ring on either of the snakes that I seen.

Ah, I guess that some have them and some don't.

I don't know. If it was on the snakes that I seen it wasn't prominent enough for me to notice.

That's a good possibility.
