Poll question: How do you deal with snakes on a plane?
Ahhhh...this is your captain speaking. Our cruising altitude is 28,000 feet. The weather in Los Angeles is clear and 72 degrees. A case of deadly cobras has escaped into the passenger compartment. We will be landing in 30 minutes. Thank you for flying Delta.

What can you do?

...play with their vintage toys when they fall asleep.

5. Distract snakes by releasing a swarm of killer bees into the plane.

Snakes love Christopher Walken.

19. Other - Open The Window
Hey, we've seen all the movies where if the window gets punctured everything gets sucked out. (Yeah, i know that doesn't really happen.)

But, since the question is based upon a movie, we can use a movie solution! So, we punch a hole in the window and the snakes get sucked out. That'll teach 'em!

20. We'll have to see -- movie opens on August 18th. Reportedly, there will be
no press screenings. From www.us.imdb.com:

Tag lines for:

Snakes on a Plane (2006)

Relax. They're first class fliers.

On August 18th Summer Really Begins

Sit back. Relax. Enjoy the fright.

At 30,000 feet, snakes aren't the deadliest thing on this plane.

(The last one really makes you question the whole idea!)

25. Actually, that would happen.
An airplane pressurized to say 12 psi traveling through the air at 30 or 35,000 feet is not unlike a can of compressed air at sea level.

22. Make the snakes fasten their seatbelts.
The plane is about to land. So it's about time to turn on the fasten seatbelt sign. Once they are securely in their seats, they won't be much of a problem.

24. Lure them all in a non-pressurized section of the plane. You'd think
Edited on Mon Jul-24-06 03:32 PM by Radio_Lady
they would die without air and oxygen.

Come to think of it, that was the plot hole in the movie "Flight Plan" with Jodie Foster. Her kid LIVED even though the kid was unconscious in an unpressurized part of the plane.

Well, maybe snakes need less oxygen than humans... it's a thought.

30. As Bill Cosby said in his routine about snakes
Two snakes are watching a human try not to touch the ground (where they are) one snake says "He has both of them (legs)up in the air"

The other one says "That's all right... sooner or later one of them is coming down"
