So the big news this week (other than all the depressing stuff) was a venomous Egyptian cobra that escaped from the Bronx Zoo, forcing the shutdown of the reptile house. Soon afterwards, @BronxZoosCobra launched a twitter account, reporting comic adventures all over the city with the hashtag #snakeonthetown.
While the cobra didn't get as many followers as @CharlieSheen and his #winning, #tigerblood ways, she soon became a twitter and media star. Visiting the original Ray's pizza and H&H bagels. Going to Ellis island. Visiting Whole Foods for organic mice. Being included in the Ellen Show and Michael Bloomberg tweets. Reports of hosting Saturday Night Live. Associated Press wire stories. International news.
Merchandise...
I even learned yesterday that she even applied for a summer internship with us. (Uma the office pug not terribly excited about that thought)
Well, the snake was caught yesterday, much to everyone's disappointment. While its probably a good thing a 20 foot poisonous snake wasn't roaming around the city, everyone is missing the Twitter reports (with The New York Times guessing the real identity of the account).
Hmmm, do you think we all need to have a little more fun and play in our day??
Happy Friday everyone, and here's to an April with much more laughter.
