At first I thought you are talking about that bloke in the first pic. Later I saw that beautiful snake.

At first I thought he was talking about a new snake game as a last try to make Windows Phones more interesting for the users

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

I've seen a few of the WA variety (bandy-bandy) which were usually dug up during road building and the like. As the link shows relatively harmless mainly because rarely seen and very small (meaning not a big bite): Snakes Harmful & Harmless - WA Snake ID[^]

I strongly recommend Bill Bryson: Down Under - the funniest travel book I know of. He is obsessed with all the dangers of wildlife, in a very positive way and hillariously funny way, such as stating that an encounter with a crocodile "may be an extremely irreversible experience".
"If you're out in the bush and a snake comes along, just stop dead and let it slide over your shoes."
This, I decided, was the least-likely-to-be-followed advice I had ever been given.
"What about sharks?" I asked uneasily.
"Oh, there's hardly any sharks here. Glenn, how long has it been since someone was killed by a shark?"
"Oh, ages," Glenn said, considering, "Couple of months, at least."
Australia's creatures seemed to have evolved as if they had misread the manual. He also goes into numeric figures for how many new species of both venomous snakes and other kinds of animals are classified every year. The reason this one made it into media is because it is good looking - not because finding and classifying a new species in itself is anything extraordinary in Australia. At least not if we are to believe Bill Bryson.
Even if Bryson might be exaggregating to some degree (that is an element of his style of humour): Read "Down Under". I haven't yet met anyone who did not find the book highly entertaining.

Cool, now we know what to call the next computer language. Its been about 10 minutes, since the last one was created. Python is spent, Bandy-Bandy rules

I think bandy-bandy would be a good name for a diminutive summer top for young ladies.

I do not know how stupid we are, but that bottle is proof that there is someone who thinks we are that stupid already...

After years and years of software development, why would you need to ask the question about how stupid people are? Have they ever disappointed you in the real of stupidity?
If it weren't real life it would be hysterically funny.

Well - at least from my perspective - as part of humanities "Next Evolutionary Step", I hardly even consider myself the same species as "them".

His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

By golly, Jim, I'm beginning to think I can cure a rainy day.
It helps that I have a tin box with the Enterprise on one side and the scene with the quote "it is life, but not as we know it" quote in my living room. Luckily my wife is nerdier than me.

Send her right over. I have nerdy work to do. On my desk at home I finally have the parts for a Space 1999 Eagle[^], freshly printed on my 3D printer.
Should I ever buy the bigger version of my printer, I could scale it up to 40 inches / 1m and print it again.

Somewhere amongst my boxes of stuff stored in my attic is a late 70's vintage model of an Eagle that I assembled.
