Sticking to the snake trivia train, here's a cute little factoid that only the snake fanatics among us would know.

Despite Bill's team being named the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad, only half of the members are even named after actual vipers.

Bill, for starters, has the humanoid codename "Snake Charmer," while Beatrix's Black Bamba actually belongs to the Elapidae family, and Elle Driver's California Mountain Snake is totally non-venomous and therefore not a viper.

That leaves the only "true" vipers among the group as Budd's Sidewinder, O-Ren Ishii's (Lucy Liu) Cottonmouth, and Vernita Green's (Vivica A. Fox) Copperhead.

One suspects this was a case of fashion over function, where the group name just sounded too badass not to be used, right?
