The victim identified as chef Pen Fan had been preparing the special dish made from Indochinese spitting cobra, according to the Daily Mail, when the snake’s severed head bit him as he was throwing it into the garbage.

The joys of a simple nervous system...

I guess that would be biting the hand that feeds you...

...to someone else.

Too much spit?

I've always known that a severed viper head can deliver a potentially fatal bite. What makes this so interesting is that particular snake spits as a first defense. (You do not want to get its venom in your eye, which it's aiming for.) They strike as a last resort. I guess that, when you now exist as a severed head, that's the last resort. Also, it had no body with which to strike (coil, etc.). Interesting that it could even bite. Pit vipers can't really "bite" in the true sense of the word. In this country, probably hemisphere, the only poisonous snake which "bites" is the coral snake. It has to bite and worry its fangs in, making possible for most to shake it off before its neurotoxin can get into the season. Bottom line, this sounds like a one in 100K occurrence, or more...
