Book By Its Cover Review: Eating an Alligator Whole and then Dying

Well, nobody wants to die from their stomach exploding dramatically: that's for sure. But before that python in the article above passed away, you know that he was one happy snakey.

Think about something bigger than you that you hate. Perhaps it's your boss, or Barry Bonds, or an SUV. It would feel pretty satisfying to swallow one of those things whole, not just because you were hungry but just to show that you could do it, no matter how big it was or how snappy its jaws. Oh, and don't forget that this thing that you swallow would still be talking, so you could hear its muffled honking horn or threats of firing you, from inside your belly.

The only bad part I guess is that also before death would be the severe deformation. Also, whatever you swallow might be clawing at you as you try to eat it so that might not be comfortable.

But say otherwise it's not that bad. You certainly couldn't complain you didn't feel full.
