What's that old line from John Lennon? I believe it is "Instant karma's gonna get you."

Well, seems to me that there might just be something to that in this case.

Turns out, even beheaded rattlesnakes can be dangerous.

ThatÂ’s what 53-year-old Danny Anderson learned as he was feeding his horses Monday night, when a 5-foot rattler slithered onto his central Washington property, about 50 miles southeast of Yakima.

Anderson and his 27-year-old son, Benjamin, pinned the snake with an irrigation pipe and cut off its head with a shovel. A few more strikes to the head left it sitting under a pickup truck.

“When I reached down to pick up the head, it raised around and did a backflip almost, and bit my finger,” Anderson said. “I had to shake my hand real hard to get it to let loose.”

Experts say it was a reflex action by the severed nerves. Gee, do ya think?
