IAM Not Making This Up is on the page but when I go to edit it out it's not in the source >_>
mikke: "most English speakers (let alone snake handlers and sellers) are aware that if "red's by yellow, you're a dead fellow; red's by black, you're okay, Jack."" What really? I'd never heard this one before in my life.
Celinra: Related to that rhyme, I recall hearing somewhere (I think it was one of the extras on the Snakes On A Plane DVD, when they talked about the snakes they used) that the rhyme only applied to the area where those particular snakes were common. In different areas, there are actually venomous snakes in the red-touch-black pattern, which is the one represented in the movie. I'd edit the actual entry, but since I can't recall where I heard it, I'm not going to change it unless someone else can confirm it.
