Revising the Brown Snake Story

2009 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

More information has come about on your older story in Australia, where a man collected a brown snake and later had his arm amputated.

From this new news article, the man claims he was trying to kill himself, as a result of having a hard time getting custody of his children. Still very dumb, I agree, but an interesting twist. Surely there's a better way to achieve his goal?

Here it is; http://www.news.com.au/story/0,27574,25048259-17001,00.html

Since the original submission is listed as unconfirmed I guess this will provide some additional detail for Darwin. Thanks for the update, Alan.
