    		I read an interesting book by Roald Dahl. It was his autobiography. When he was in Africa working for Shell Oil, the house he was staying in had a green mamba in it, and they had to call a famed exterminator, the Snake Man. Later, though, Dahl met up with a black mamba. He put a great deal more emphasis on this encounter, so yes, a black mamba is more poisonous.

    		This fact was also mentioned in "Kill Bill: Vol. 2". Elle Driver mentions the statistics about the Black Mamba when one bites Budd.

    		Didn't that delightful snake have a role in Kill Bill 2?

    Which is the most dangerous, the King Cobra or the Black Mamba?

    I want to prove that 'All ravens are black'. An equivalent statement is 'All non-black objects are non-ravens', and if I prove the latter then I prove the former as well. I look around and see a blue sky, green grass, and an overwhelming number of things that are non-black non-ravens. I can easily prove that 'All non-black objects are non-ravens' and, by extension, I must also have proven that 'All ravens are black' because this is an equivalent statement. This is a well known paradox. Whose paradox is it?

    I heard David Attenborough being asked this question on Australian radio a few years back. He was stumped - other than to suggest a type of cat that grows mould in its fur and even he admitted that this was cheating! So the question is this - There are green fish, green insects, green birds, and green reptiles, but are there any green mammals? And if not, why not?
