Sitting in a Bathtub with 87 Rattlesnakes!

Jackie Bibby, the "Texas Snake Man," has set a new world record for … sitting in a bathtub with snakes!

Bibby spent about 45 minutes in a see-through bathtub with 87 rattlesnakes on Monday, fully clothed, shattering his own record by 12 snakes just in time for Guinness World Records Day, which is on Thursday. A Guinness official certified the record, in Dublin, Texas.

The snakes crawled under his arms, between his legs and anywhere else they could slither, Bibby said. None bit him.

Just seeing the picture gives me the willies: Link

Neat stuff from the NeatoShop:

75 snakes, 85 snakes…do 12 snakes really make that big of a difference at that point?

what prevented him from staying longer? the ice was melting. when snakes are cold, they are quite friendly. when snakes are warm/hot they are rather unpleasant… especially the venomous ones.

How big of a redneck do you have to be before crap like this impresses you?
