Ran across the pic below on a "King Cobra" thread on Reddit a few weeks ago. 
The top comment on that thread (by RiflemanLax) was awesome:

When I was in the Marines, my company stopped briefly in Malaysia for training in 2001. We were set to do a training patrol through some coconut groves at night. The Malaysian Army liaison says right before we leave, "Watch out for the cobras. They hide under dead coconut fronds. They'll stand up in your face about 6 ft tall. If they do, just stand completely still until they move away."

Our CO says "Fuck that shit, patrol's cancelled."

I was bitten by a wood rattlesnake several years ago. I was gardening in my yard and felt a pull on my glove. I knew I was snake bit but it didn't hurt so I didn't think it was serious until the fucking thing rattled.

Took my glove off and had one puncture on the tip of my middle finger. Killed the snake and went to hospital. They they shit a brick gave me anti venom. Had a brutal fucking headache for a day and lost about a pencil eraser sized piece of skin. Very lucky. Only nicked by a juvenile snake

The meanest, toughest rattlesnake hasn't been mentioned cause that would be Stone Cold Steve Austin.

And he's the meanest, toughest SOB there is.
