Okay: the Lighthearted award of the year goes to Ray. That apa joke about the snake and apple really tickled me. Not as much as Gary's python would. Okay, now instead of a link, here is a cut and paste from today's Washington Post about the dangers of Python therapy

VIRGINIA BEACH
Woman Is Found Strangled, Perhaps by Her Pet Python
Police believe a 25-year-old Virginia Beach woman was strangled by her pet python.
Amanda Ruth Black's husband came home about 11:30 p.m. Tuesday and found her lying in a bedroom, police said. The snake's cage was open.
Black was pronounced dead at the scene. A preliminary medical examiner's report indicates she died of asphyxiation. Police say Black was trying to give medicine to the 13-foot tiger python when the incident happened.
Animal control officers found the snake in the bedroom and are holding it at their office.
