The Gaboon viper's venom is the worst: it basically makes your blood cells explode, so you start bleeding from everywhere. There's an episode of the Animal Planet show Fatal Attractions with a woman who collected venomous snakes. She let her Gaboon out of its tank while cleaning and it bit her. The police said that the scene looked like she'd been bludgeoned to death because there was blood everywhere.

Recently I discovered that there's a sensory deprivation tank facility very near where I live, something I've always wanted to try. A little Googling led me to this lovely pic of the first experiments in that research. Instead of floating in saltwater, you stood upright in a tank, head under the water, wearing one of these to breath:  (from http://johnclilly.com/, which is pretty creepy in itself.

Where your eyes don't go a part of you is hovering. I like most people of culture and grace was first exposed to the idea of sensory deprivation by the 1991 film Deadlock, which HBO played roughly three times a day for a period of years.

You know how a sea star grabs on to its prey, pries it open, and ejects its stomach out its mouth and into the prey and digests it from the inside out? Yeah, so, normally it's a clam, but that picture is the result of what happens if you mess with a sea star. Don't mess with sea stars, kids.
