Rattlesnakes and Rules of Thumb
April 25, 2008 – 5:55 am
A rattlesnake’s strike can be up to two-thirds of its length so that three-foot rattler can nail you from up to two feet away.
This is one of the fun facts that you can pick up at Rules of Thumb.org. Would I want to bet my life that a rattler can only strike from 2 feet away – No! The information on this site is not intended to be taken as fact – they’re rules of thumb or intelligent guesses.
There is tons of really interesting information on this site and you can browse it by category. Check it out – you can even post your own rule of thumb or vote on the rules that are already up there.
