This is far more interesting than discussing the banal tosh that was served up last night!

Whilst living in Canberra, I had a call at work from my wife asking if I could come home and check on the welfare of a snake she had encountered in the garden. It was a Tiger snake which had got tangled in some plastic netting over the veggie patch and it had been striking out at a new Jack Russell pup we had just purchased. She had apparently hit it with a spade and she wasn't sure if it was dead.

On seeing it, I realised she had hit it more than once because it resembled a sliced salami. I confirmed that the snake was dead. So you can add 'hitting with a spade' to your list.

We had Tigers and Browns in the garden and I can confirm other methods of them meeting an end included being run over by a Mitsubishi Pajero, a necessary execution by garden hoe at a children's party and various encounters with Jack Russells. We did however lose 3 dogs to snake bites but I think over 90 minutes the dogs had the better stats.
