snakes in a dream

I'm not complaining, but anytime the WT has a serpent picture, I get bad dreams.  I dreamed there was a tiny worm coiled on my green bathroom rug.  It was a grayish ashy brown, and I picked it up with a wad of toilet paper to flush it, and when I did, it uncoiled and was a baby snake hissing at me and unwrithing towards my face.

I woke up shook up.  But nothing is worse than a picture I found by accident on the internet when I was looking for posters to redecorate my office.

I don't know if that link will work, and I don't know if you want it to.  It is at www.art.com and the photograph is titled "Walking on Egg Shells" and the artist (I use the term loosely) is Sandy Skoglund. 

It took about a month to get over that, and I understand art, and I see what she's doing here, but why?  Why is this art?  Nobody, I daresay, will decorate anything in the new world with that.

Obviously I have not watched Snakes on a Plane or Anaconda and I know when to go use the bathroom during certain Indiana Jones film sequences.  I did write my dissertation on Black Snake Moan and Monster's Ball.  But there isn't a snake in either one, haha. 

I do have trouble believing Eve was perfect sometimes.
