Stepping on Rattlesnakes
Arizona biologist M. Cale Morris created an artificial leg (a boot on the end of an aluminum pole) to test the response of rattlesnakes to being stepped on. He stepped on a total of 175 rattlesnakes and concluded that, despite popular belief, they're not very aggressive. The majority of the stepped-on rattlesnakes tried to crawl away without biting the fake leg. More info: reddit, basisseniorprojects.com (pdf)
