The Register.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.
