Snakes on a Subway
New Yorkers have all the fun.
New York commuters arriving at Grand Central Station will soon be greeted by a monstrous sight: a 48-foot-long, 2,500-pound titanoboa snake.
The good news: It’s not alive. Anymore. But the full-scale replica of the reptile — which will make its first appearance at the commuter hub on March 22 — is intended, as Smithsonian spokesperson Randall Kremer happily admitted, to “scare the daylights out of people” — actually has a higher calling: to “communicate science to a lot of people.”
I dunno about science but it sure will communicate all the attributes of Romney, Santorum, and Gingrich: It’s fossilized, cold-blooded, and predatory.
Thanks to Sam for the heads-up.
