Edit:

Snake picture removed. It's a legit picture of a scary snake, but it's from South Africa. The photo's history is described in this Snopes article. Thanks halfjack!

Sailing is fun and also very, very dangerous. I wonder if that cross marks the last person to eat it there?

I had no idea they had snakes like that in Iraq. Now I am trying to find out just exactly what the hell it is and why it has so many scary teeth.

Hmm, looks like Snopes has an article plausibly about that snake photo, but I can't get through our protective proxy here at work to see it because Snopes is EXTREME.

Thanks for the tip. It's apparently a South African python per Snopes.
