does it have something to do with what is called 'python mode'? where you eat until you're bursting at the seams, and then sleep very peacefully for a long time?

cool cool, and very generous of you...
OK, what famous musicians have blasted the tartan pipes? Other than Jonothan Davies of Korn... I know it was done before him.
Mind you, he wears kilts too...

Is it the serpent as a rather archaic instrument that used to be played by army bands?
Both the Guerkas and at least one of Australia/New Zealand have pipe bands.

hm. To summarise:
tartan legend = music?
or
antipodean constrictor = music?
Or is music the result?
and some sort of non-reptilian python is involved.
come on people! Lets get the two objects in order to figure out the result of them meeting, this one's tugging at my brainstrings and it's distracting!

The German for 'queue' (as in, a queue before the cashier) is the same word as for 'snake' (that is, Schlange)

That's interesting...
.... I didn't think the germans had a concept of queueing. It would appear I'm not entirely wrong
