    From the US Government Peace Corps Manual:

    1. If you are attacked by an anaconda, do not run. The snake is faster
    than you are.

    2. Lie flat on the ground. Put your arms tight against your sides, your
    legs tight against one another.

    3. Tuck your chin in.

    4. The snake will come and begin to nudge and climb over your body.

    5. Do not panic.

    6. After the snake has examined you, it will begin to swallow you from the
    feet and - always from the end. Permit the snake to swallow your feet
    and ankles. Do not panic!

    7. The snake will now begin to suck your legs into its body. You must lie
    perfectly still. This will take a long time.

    8. When the snake has reached your knees slowly and with as little movement
    as possible, reach down, take your knife and very gently slide it into
    the side of the snake's mouth between the edge of its mouth and your leg,
    then suddenly rip upwards, severing the snake's head.

    9. Be sure you have your knife.

    10. Be sure your knife is sharp.

    Now can anyone tell me why the above information is incorrect?

    For those who dont know:
    1. For the most part snakes swallow their prey head-first
    2. Snakey is very likely to give you a "hug" before consuming you


    Anyway check this thread for some hilarious replies:
