A month or so ago I started thinking about Yako Mammas (GIANT snakes rumored to live in the Amazon and Congo rivers) and supposing if you had one, what you could domesticate it for. I’ve talked to several people about some of my ideas but I figured it was time to consolidate them all into one article.

A Loud Headache once told The Squeaky Din that watching The Very Noisy Spider play games was like;

“Seeing a hive of bees inside a bee-keeper costume. You know it can’t hurt you, but it’s still scary because you know it didn’t get that way by itself, meaning there are weird people about and you don’t know what else they’ve done. Do you understand what I’m saying?”

Enigma did not understand what The Loud Headache had been saying. Not one bit.

This week I've been thinking about giant snakes for a story, and so true to my nature I've been studying them to get points of reference. If you had a domesticated, 120 foot, 60 tone snake, and no modern technology; how much would you feed it? How big of an enclosure would you need? How would you heat the enclosure? How would you enter the enclosure to safely clean it, or remove a shed snakeskin?

Last year I found a documentary about how the natives in The Amazon talk about giant water snakes called Yako Mammas that are 100 - 200 feet long and up to six feet wide. The Yako Mama is said to expand itself while submerged, gorging in massive amounts of water and with it, any fish or eels etc within 100 feet of its mouth. After that it sticks its head above water and shoots out the excess water like a water cannon, and can knock monkeys off tree branches into the water where it gets them

Someone suggested to me having a convoy of smaller sleds, that clip together at night, and have traps/poles that can form into a large tent. Here's my response.

Let’s suppose you and I both have 300 well trained dogs, and about 2 dozen mushers. I opt for 1 massive sled, while you make a convoy of 20 sleds pulled by 15 dogs each. We are competing to bring supplies up to a volcanic island about 1,500km off the northern coast of Russia, over the artic sea.

So I'm working on an idea of Wargame exercises between 2 mage schools. Let's say Luna made her own school and is pitting her students against Celestia's, because that's better then blue team vs red team.

So yesterday I started thinking about dog sledding.

All the pictures I've seen have a team of lets say 9 dogs pulling a sled with 1 or 2 people on it. So I've been thinking; what if you had100 dogs pulling a sled with more 20-30 people?

To me needs are something you… need to survive; air, water, food, etc. In dating/ married relationships however, people keep referring to ‘sexual needs’ or ‘emotional needs’. The obvious answer would be that most people translate, ‘needs’ to mean ‘strong desire’ though I can think of two alternatives explanations. Before I share them however I’d like to hear what you guys think.

Is ‘needs’ the right word to use for what you want out of a relationship?
