Hanina ben Dosa was a first century Jewish miracle worker from Galilee. He was one of many who supposedly did a lot of the same things as Jesus, miracle healings, casting out demons, made it rain, etc, but wasn’t an apocalyptic with a messianic complex.
Anyway… there was a snake in town that had bit and hurt people. When he heard of it he went to the snakes hole and put his foot over it. The snake bit him and the snake died. The people came up with the first Chuck Norris meme. “Woe to anyone who is bitten by the snake, but woe to the snake that bites Hanina ben Dosa.”
