He said this snake was found on the road to his home, and the fire dept was called to come pick it up. At first I believed him, but then I looked up "giant rattlesnake" on Google, and found dozens of articles saying this is a hoax making the rounds...a "photoshopped" pic, since rattlers don't even get this big!

A rattlesnake that big would be a sight indeed.

That was mean but...
 If I was a fireman and got that call I'd refer the caller to the police or animal control  Are there a lot of venomous snakes there? Rattlesnakes are supposedly fairly common near the beaches here but I've never seen one. I've seen Cottonmouths, Corals, and Copperheads though. Found a Cottonmouth on the patio of the apt I used to live in. He was sleepy though so I won that battle

I bet your student was proud of himself that he got you going for a bit. LOL

Why not "hoax" the student back?
Find an outlandish photo of something. Perhaps this Jackalope http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs21/f/20...ite_genius.png Wait a few months, say, toward the end of the school year. Then show the pic to the student along with your made-up story. For example, you adopted this pet from the animal shelter. |

I must admit...seeing a giant shark sailing through the air over a battleship with Steve Urkel on board was quite amusing. |

I love the kid who hoaxed me. He's quite a character, and I couldn't be mad at him if I tried. He's in the 8th grade now, and since the 6th grade he has said he wants to be a herpetologist (snake specialist). He's quite brilliant and funny, living in a dysfunctional family situation with his grandmother (not parents).
Also...I enjoy the way this thread has evolved. Y'all are funny!

Seeker, I think it's great that you have the kind of relationship with this student that he feels safe playing with you.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
