      To be realistic, thats not a plot he laid out. Its a generic idea. Some danger on a plane... we had that before. And I dont think King would write anything like Snakes on a Plane - its a pretty dull story that only serves the purpose of putting Samuel L. Jackson on a plane with snakes: Them being the main attraction.

      I’m pretty sure that Stephen King would’ve loved to have wrote Snakes on A Plane. The sheer campy, schlocky, goofy horror would’ve had him thrilled to pieces and Samuel L. Jackson starring would’ve thrown him over the moon. This is a man who appreciates the level of frivolity with the lameass “serious” undertones of Snakes on a Plane.

    4 months after this interview, on June 19, 1999, at about 4:30 p.m., Stephen King was walking on the shoulder of Maine State Route 5, in Lovell, Maine. Driver Bryan Edwin Smith, distracted by an unrestrained dog moving in the back of his minivan, struck King, who landed in a ditch in the ground about 14 feet from the pavement of Route 5. King was conscious enough to give the deputy phone numbers to contact his family but was in considerable pain. He was transported to Northern Cumberland Hospital in Bridgton and then flown by air ambulance to Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston. He suffered many injuries-including a collapsed right lung, multiple fractures of his right leg, scalp laceration and a broken hip. In an odd coincidence, Bryan Edwin Smith died on Stephen King's birthday on September 21, 2000 and both he and King shared the same middle name.

I love the number 3, and by association multiples of 3, but I don't like 6, so I avoid multiples of 3 that are even (because they're multiples of 6), and I avoid numbers whose digits add up to 6. I don't fear 6, but I avoid it whenever it's not reckless to do so.
