The Bronx Zoo Cobra is the funniest thing I have paid attention to in the past week. The zoo's Egyptian cobra went missing last week and was widely publicized in the national news, and rightfully so: The snake's venom can kill a human in a mere 15 seconds. Yikes! The good news was that zoo's officials had said that the snake did not escape the Reptile Room of the Bronx zoo. Regardless, one individual took time last week to make the Bronx Zoo Cobra a Twitter account that made light of the situation. The Twitter account, which has an unrevealed account owner, created several tweets throughout the week chronicling the snake's faux adventures using the hashtag #snakeonthetown. Tweets such as "Getting on the ferry to Ellis Island. Let's hope that this goes better than that time on the plane. #snakeonthetown", added hilarity to the situation.
If you have some extra time or need a good laugh, click on the link to the Twitter page posted above. Although the snake has now been found (thankfully in its reptile room perimeters), #snakeonthetown no longer exists, but the hashtag has cleverly been renamed as #snakeatthezoo.
That's so funny! Gotta love twitter.
