Much of the United States - including "urban and suburban areas" - may soon be overrun by a plague of "giant, invasive snakes" capable of "attacking and killing people", according to genuine federal boffins.

The scientists in question are those of the US Geological Survey, which yesterday published a terrifying report warning of the imminent reptilian conquest.

According to top government snake men Gordon Rodda and Robert Reed, no less than nine "giant non-native snake species" are preparing to sweep as far north as the Mason-Dixon line, with "tens of thousands" of hostile, peckish maneaters already massing in Florida.

"These snakes mature early, produce large numbers of offspring, travel long distances, and have broad diets that allow them to eat most native birds and mammals,” sayd Dr Rodda.
The Register.

*avoids Florida*
 
lol +1 for that. Must say it sucks that its already only 17 degrees up here in Canada (Yes I converted to Farenheit for you :p) But it is rather nice to know the invading reptiles will never make it up this far :D
 
I want to know how they figured out they were "preparing to sweep as far north...".

Did they intercept communication? see some terrorist jabs? got informants? :eek:
 
That was great! :D

Enough is enough! I have had it with these motherf*****g snakes on this motherf*****g plane!

I assume they're snake experts and not literally 'snake men'...

...which is a shame because they'd be quite ace, especially if they worked for USsss Sssstate Ssssecurity.
 
How does one become a 'boffin'? It's surely the greatest job title ever!

"Me? Oh, I'm a boffin!"

And patrick0brien – he probably got those biceps working out in a Government Snake Training Facility. Or something.

I was referring more to the fact that a guy with snakes for arms has what use for elbows?
 
Thats cool you guy get all the best things all we get over here is the postal strike plague and the big issue plague :mad:.
