Something to wrap my snake.....



Our friend at the Zoology lab, Prospero the Corn Snake has shed some of his old skin again.....



And we thought why not recycle and reuse it as a condom! (I is a genius. I know. One flight to Stockholm please.)

The Nashman thought about it long and hard. Snake skins have the right geometry, it's got ribbed sides, and it's very thin! Granted that the miniNashman is more an earthworm that's been decapitated by the early bird (the miniNashman certainly rises very early, it's brown, it's thin, and it's short) than an Anaconda, corn snakes are just the right girth!


PA/PR Gromit threw a spanner in the works by pointing out that the snake skin is very long.....

....but HRO Karl Willem was quick to calculate that these two long pieces would easily give us 10 condoms! Savings! Savings! All ye who want to stroke my snake, please form an orderly line. Don't worry, it' doesn't bite like a cobra but it sure spits like one.......
