I still vote for the Cobra-skin for the chrome bodies
and the red snake skin for the black-painted bodies.
Excuse my lack of reptile-knowledge here, but I assume
that both a cobra and whatever snake the red skin comes
from are lethal if one is not on friendly terms with
them, no?
That would suit the OM's well, I take. OM's are, by
deifnition, lethal to the mental image of any n*kon- or
c*non-user, who thinks he needs heavy wunderbricks to
make good photos ;)
Ok, I'll stop now......

(PS: The other half has just prohibited an OM with red
skin from entering the house. The argument was that "it
looks sissy". The cobra-one, though, got some "uhh"
and "ahh" and "nice"....hmm.......)
