Bronx Zoo's Cobra on Twitter

[sue71, esq]

I actually broke down and joined Twitter today just to follow Bronx Zoo's Cobra*. In doing so, I also discovered Bronx Zoo's Hawk, Bronx Zookeeper, & Bronx Mouse. I now follow all 4 just for the sheer comedy of it all. I'm not sure who is behind each of them (no idea if they're Bronx Zoo employees... for all I know, especially about Twitter, the account owners could be in North Dakota, Brazil, & Missouri), much less whether they actually do know each other. But, and I'm just sayin' here, it's absolute comic relief.

(Side note: If someone wants to volunteer to give me a Twitter tutorial, step on up. I figured out how to follow, and I'm not saying I'd post, but it'd be nice to have a working knowledge... more than a clue. Kthanks.)

Here's my fave:

Brilliant shortstack. RT @ebenn27 I had a student write a paper on exactly why snakes shouldn't be kept as pets, she got an A for it too.

Modell's in Herald Square doesn't carry nets, WTF.


*I'm assuming that everyone is aware of the cobra that's been missing from the Bronx Zoo for the past few days. Google it if you're not.

HONEY BADGER! Yep, that's what they need.
There is a highly educational short film on an interesting site called "youtube" about the honey badger being a "bad donkey's-keister". The honey badger enjoys finding cobras to snack on.
I'd link but I'd get in trouble for the 'salty language'. NSFW!!!

That is indeed a worthwhile video.

Honey Badger don't care

Honey Badger don't care

About a year ago, based on the emotional impact the Honey Badger video had on me, both as a man and, more generally, as a citizen of the world, I invented an interpretive dance in honor of the Honey Badger. That animal can teach us all.

I had a hangover like that once.

Okay, a couple of times.

That badger knows how to get things done.

Maybe on Skype, though.

Well yeah, obviously. They won't let it keep tweeting from its cage. Duh.
