miscellaneous rambling

Here is a shot of one of the performers at the cobra show. He has a scar on his arm ( though not shown), which is from a king cobra bite. We asked him what happens when one gets bit.
First, you are rushed to the hospital where the serum gets injected into you. Then, the area which is bit is now dead flesh, and then has to be cut out. Afterwards, you have to stay in the hospital for a week with an oxygen mask on, while your body slowly recovers...
Johnny is in his early 20's and has been doing this since he was about 15 years old.
