Yes, this dude really did just count to 1 million.

But why?

And more importantly, how long did it take him?

Well, you're just going to have to stick around to find out the answer to those questions,

as well as a whole host of other mind-blowing facts you never knew you needed to learn.

Snakes can belch fire. Plenty of people are afraid of snakes, and what I'm about to tell you now probably

won't ease that fear. They can burp fire. Now let's be clear, I'm not suggesting all snakes

are secretly fire-breathing dragons, nor that this occurs under everyday conditions. In fact,

you'll probably never see this terrifying talent in action. But that doesn't mean it couldn't happen.

To create fire, you need three things.

A flammable material, a spark, and oxygen.

As you may know, a naturally occurring flammable gas known as hydrogen is produced at the tail end of the human digestive system,

and is passed by flatulents.

When most mammals die, a layer of mucus that protects

the stomach lining disappears and the stomach acids begin to digest the stomach itself alongside

other internal organs. This results in a buildup of hydrogen inside the body, which can sometimes

cause it to burst, Henry VIII style. Let's say a decomposing deer body bursts inside a python.

The gases could be released all at once into the snake's stomach, causing it to belch out a burst

of concentrated hydrogen. Now all you'd need is a lone spark from some nearby campfire to drift

into the path of this burp, and voila. You've got yourself a wingless, fire-breathing dragon.
