The career for you my dear is to be a 'snake milker'. Milking the reptile's fangs is essential to extract venom, the main ingredient in the serums that cure snakebites.

Poker FAQ

Where, when, how did the game of poker originate? Also, which are you most likely to win at, or at least be luckier with, poker or blackjack?
Lady, don't think us gaga but we've poked around high and low and are flushed to say that the exact origins of this game remain unclear. Our foraging was not a total flop however as we can trace it back to 'As Nas', a 16th century Persian card game. When this caught on in Europe, they named it 'poque' or 'pochen'. The game truly developed in the US and was widely played in New Orleans in the early 1800s. During the era of the American Civil War poker spread throughout the western frontier to develop into the game we all know and love today.
To deal with part two of your FAQ, both poker and blackjack are games involving a mixture of luck and skill. To prevent you being dumped in the dog house, keen observation skills are demanded in both. The design of blackjack however is that the House always wins if you play for long enough. Unless you are a skilled card counter, prepare to lose. Poker however involves players playing against each other rather than the House. This means that although there is a luck element, sufficient skill can conquer this. We're not bluffing therefore when we say to avoid looking like a joker, go for the poker.

Twit ch Tattoo
1 comments
I have wanted a couple of tattoos for quite a few years now, but timing, finances and such things have prevented it. My question is this - I've heard tattoos are painful, I've also heard they don't hurt at all. Which is it and are there specific places on the body that are supposed to be more or least painful?
Our artistic advice is not to go for a heavy-handed tattooist. Tatty, unskillled tattooists can cause unnecessary trauma to the skin (and you) resulting in a tattoo colour that is too deep and appears blurry after a few months (and you're blurry-eyed after mere moments). Needles aside, that'd be needlessly painful (& to look at.)
Pain is however subjective and, of course, individuals have varying thresholds. Some folk seek high and low (er... very low) to feel the sensation of pain. The tatooed folk we've pinned down report loving the feeling and will say that this is part of the attraction that drags them back for more. Our research indicates that most will say the pain isn't as bad as anticipated and the sensation is in fact just an irritating hot scratch.
Right, to cut to the chase, thou art brave if you opt for a tat in these areas: the ankle/ top of the foot, 'you know where' (esp for men), eyebrows, eyelids, knuckles, anywhere on the spine, kidneys and all the bony areas. Monet away - it hurts! Anywhere else, you should just feel a tickle!

We zipped around to find a zippy answer to this zippy FAQ but our zips will only unzip that zippy represents a zippy. Enough unzipped, our lips are now zipped.

How long can a cockroach live?

comments
Rather shockingly, the lifespan of a cockroach is anywhere between 3 months and 2 years. Not anywhere near me though; they wouldn't survive 5 FAQing minutes!
Horribly however, rumour has it that they can also live for up to a month without their heads. Their necks simply 'clot over' and they continue merrily on their way...eugghh.
