Just a copperhead, out cruising Avenue D in the heart of downtown last Wednesday evening:
County Animal Control had things.. well, under control, and mr-no-legs is off to the snakey farm for a lifetime of free chow and donating venom for making antivenom. (Why do the medical people have to call it 'antivenin'? It clutters up the language. Oh wait, it's from French. No wonder. Anyway, in 1981 the WHO (organization, not band) decreed that 'antivenom' is the preferred term for the English-speakers. Works for me.)
