Speaking of snakes.

They found a snake in Ireland!

THE YEAR THAT BLOG FORGOT IS: 1925.

CORRECTION: That was snake, not snakes.

The grand explorer W.M. McGovern will "captivate the head-hunters" by playing jazz on the phonograph he will carry into the Brazilian jungle.

The NYT reports, assuring us that the dangers of the jungle have been greatly exaggerated. Ants are more of a problem than the much talked about snakes, and the Indians are "peaceable and kind-hearted." I hope so, for McGovern's sake, and I hope he brings back some nice motion pictures of the Indians hearing our crazy music for the first time.
