Uhm..... in the mountain area of my province, in the past (till not so long ago, seen when I was a kid) some people used to put a viper in a bottle of Grappa, for some therapeutic purposes.

I'm wondering who learnt if from who?

TedDBayer:

I see Chinese men shriek and dance like little girls from a dog, but they can pick up vipers?

Rin:

Since when does snake baijiu cure anything? Let alone arthritis!

Scandinavian:

I am pretty sure snake baiju can cure some things, such as being too much alive, having too good eye sight etc. 

TedDBayer:

Maybe the snake was dead and slipped out. The fangs could still have venom.

Scandinavian:

could be just the snake slipped, but that sure doesn't make the woman look any less like a clown. kind of like those stories you hear of people going to the emergency room with a mobile phone up their bottom and then saying "but doctor, I slipped and fell on it, no way I was doing some kind of sick self-pleassure or extreme durability test of a Nokia 3110"

Rin:

My uncle had a snake when I was a kid, he would feed it once a month, that's all they need apparently. So three months could be possible. It is a bit far fetched though.
