I am happy they found the little lethal sucker.

Yeah and to think I was scared it would slither 2,000 miles to where I live and bite me.

Wonder if he had a HISSY fit when they put him back in his cage?

I can't believe there are no 20" jokes yet.

Cobras don't exactly bite, they grip and chew that motion pumps the venom into your body. If a cobra ever bit you if you rip it away fast you might get a worse flesh wound, but you will avoid most of the poisonous venom

As opposed to non-poisonous venom? (just trying to be clever, no flamage intended). Peace.

Flip 66 you should get a kick out of comment 13.

Colbras and sea snakes are related I think. Rattlesnakes and others are called pit vipers. They are the ones with the two wicked looking fangs. They inject poison like a doctors needle. Colbras do gotta chew on you to get the poison worked in. Their poison sort of flows over their teeth. Glad they caught this guy.

It's too bad that Mitch McConnell is still slithering around in Washington. It would be nice if he could get lost, too.

Screw the cobra!!! Have they found and isolated the venomous ducks yet???

Oh yeah, the snake's fine.

Now they just need to locate those three missing employees!

Wow, they never mention anything about making the reptile enclosure safe to make sure this never happens again, I mean, don't get me wrong is good to know the God damn extra poisonous snake is well and all but I believe that it is far more important to make sure no other snake no matter how big or small never escapes again! MAKE THE ZOO SAFE FOR US HUMANS, AFTER ALL IT WAS BUILT FOR OUR ENJOINMENT!!

SSSsssssssss-thank-god.

What-the-81 I'm with you. Only his trip would have been shorter, 1000 miles. Made me want to do an extensive search in my house. I just hope this is the snake that made the get away and not a replacement. If I were the snake I sue the zoo for "neglect".

Zoos are just another waste of money and resources which the liberals love so much. I wouldn't be surprised if the NYC Democratic machinery was behind this stunt.

If the snake did "escape" then the real story is how the mismanagement by leftist tree huggers put the public in jeopardy by exposing them to a deadly reptile.

If I were the snake I sue the zoo for "neglect".

Would a lawyer take the case for free out of professional courtesy?

OomYaaqup- I got a good belly laugh on your comment!

The snake and lawyers are the same thing...der.

"I wouldn't be surprised if the NYC Democratic machinery was behind this stunt."

The political rumor machine strikes again!

Maybe it was just a simple mistake: The cage cleaner forgot to lock the cage after he was done. :|

Go Girl Go!!!

Actually she is just a mischevious teenager! Don't encourage her.

By the way, hihi(?), you're talking about attorneys not lawyers and they even call them own selves "sharks".

The economy is about to go over the cliff throwing us into third world status, the TSA is molesting our kids and raping our dignity, we have our military nose stuck in everybody's business, the arabs want to kill us all, domestic court makes more money, exploits more children, and does more damage than kiddie porn, yet we Americans are obsessing over a snake that got out of it's cage. Hmmmmm.

All the things you listed are the reason we so enjoyed this story....A where's Waldo type twitter play with a happy ending for once! Why should we spend our days moaning and groaning over something we have no immediate control over? I keep up with the news. but I also keep my sense of humor....if not, all would be lost.

and i b*tch when Large Devil Scales don't drop during Shroud Runs...

LOL! I play DDO, too!!!

The snake got lucky. If I had found it I would have smothered it in $h!t.!!!

Are you telling us that you would have gotten that close. pull down your pant and squat over the snake? Really bright, don't you think? What it it grabbed your balls before you could do your thing? Would have been a sight, seeing you running through the zoo with a snake hanging on.....

....."accidentially" smothered it.... you moron!!!

Tripod, you are a moron! Ruth, I don't laugh very much; isn't much to laugh about, but reading your reply I sure had a laugh!

All they need to do is look inside the white house. Plenty of snakes there!

Hey little Cobra, don't you know you're gonna shut 'em down?

Good old song!

Great, now I have that old song running through my head....shut em up, shut em up...

Those are called ex husbands.

OUCH LSS! dang that is cold blooded!

SSSSSTop It

speaking as an ex-husband........good one...lol!

little girl:

Bitter aren't we? Xhubby sleep with your sister? Or did he divorce you for putting on 400 Lbs.

Humor fail.

Looks like we covered that!

I didn't mean to reach the end of the alphabet so soon, but had no choice.

Do

Excellent.

I know, I know...a long, long way to.....no, wait. Damn, I lost my place.

So

I wanna play, too.

La

We need a few more singers!

Ok, I'll bite.

Ti

And that brings us back to...

Doh!

A la Homer.

Very good people!

Nope...

so

I totally agree! This article doesn't really say anything, and doesn't really have any point.

By the way, it's nice to see people from outside the USA take an interest in reading news that happens over here. Keep practicing on here, and your English will gradually improve! :)

The headline of the article said that it had been found.

Learn to read, I watched no adds.

I'm sorry.......what?!

That may be a thing of the past, rasputin. Yesterday, there was an article about getting rid of books at a library branch in California. They will deal more with electronic media and if you want to read a book, you will have to order it.

Glad they found and caught the snake.

Well at least Obomber didn't have to launch a strike against it. Ya know bombs, missles, send in Hillary Clinton, to negotaite.

anvil - don't worry about watching a commercial. You have already been watching too much TV. You would be much better off if you read a book occasionally. You might actually learn to spell.

It's sickening, not "sickining"...advertisements, not "advertisments"...disgusting, not "discusting"...ads, not ad's...and story's not "stories". Those are the ones that I caught on my first read. They don't include grammar, capitalization and punctuation errors. Jeez!!!!

Scales, that's what our great school system has come to.

Neg - you are so right! It's pathetic. I enjoy reading Newsvine to get an idea of what other people are thinking, but it gets my blood to boiling every time. Words just don't exist to describe how sorry our educational system has become. What's even worse is that so many people don't care.

Hay is for horses

She was having one of those teenage mood swings. They did say she was an adolecent snake.

The mongoose will give it a run for its money too.

Isn't that the premise to Rikki Tikki Taffi?

Taffi?

May have misspelled the last part. Hey, it's been years. Give me credit for even remembering that.

I'll give you credit Tony - I think it was Riki-Tiki-Tavi ?

I was trying not to Google for the answer, but I'm gonna have to. Be right back.

Hey, you are right Enma3. It is Tavi. For some reason I remembered Taffi. Been pronouncing it wrong all these years. LOL

Nothing can stop the honey badger when it's hungry...

For Tony-From-NJ: Oops, I was just going to mention that Taffi is the salt water version of Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, but I see Tony already noticed the error.

Maybe posting while hungry is the same as shopping while hungry.

Everything relates to food.

Great show.

"Trick....Trick....Trick"

Pit Bulls are good for eating snakes too.

Honey badgers do not eat king cobras. The two don't even live on the same continent- honey badgers are found in sub-Saharan Africa and king cobras are found in India.

Though if they were found closer together those hairy little monsters probably would eat king cobras from time to time.

I think we kinda understood that, but thank you Captain Grammar.

Juniper Tree - Isn't the venom poisonous? If you check the on-line Merriam Webster Dictionary for the definition of "venomous", you will see that the first response is "poisonous". The second definition is "having a venom-producing gland and able to inflict a poisoned wound".

So what is your point, Einstein?

My point is that words mean things.

Try this webpage for a full breakdown of the difference, as it relates to biology specifically and snakes, in particular:

My point is that you need to be thankful that people even understand venom and poison. No one is reading comments on this particular article to get a lesson in biology. They are merely interested in the fact that a dangerous snake has been captured and that it is unharmed.

To clarify: a "poisonous" animal or plant is one that will poison you if you eat it.

A "venomous" animal will inject venom into you while the animal is still alive.

No one cares!

And what exactly would it be wondering while in the subway? ;)

LOL, my spelling is messed up today. it is WANDERING around, looking for rats. I could have said it was wondering if zoo life is better.

Sheesh, the snake is tiny, a NY subway rat would eat it and use its tail for a toothpick

There are gangs on rats in those subways. The most notorious are the Rodent Anarchists

The Rodent Anarchists? Whew, now that's scary.

Around Wall.St an honest snake wouldn't have a chance!

actually, rumor has it that the snake was pregnant and gave birth to 35 or 30 live young! They haven't found the others yet!!! They are still in the subway and sewer system....... :-)

Good one StarvinMarvin. I was looking for a way to keep the rumor alive.

Guess he had a Day of Rage too.

Egyptian Cobras taste just like chicken ... they do that licky-licky thing.

It began as a Day of Rage until it simmered (slithered?) down into mostly irritated.

Maybe he had a sex change operation.

Also for the record the venom is poisonous, ever heard of lethal injection.

for the record both are deadly.

Not necessarily deadly.

..for the record, it's "ingested".

For the record, I'd rather not encounter either one.

Off the record you're all full of @!$%#.

Just one small correction to make here:

Poison is ingested
Venom is injected
Poisonous Venom (such as my ex's Eggplant Surprise) is consumed

for the record, Lethal Injection is only deadly when the 'Death Pardon, 2 minutes too late... it's like Rain, on a summer day...'

Who cares? Venomous. Poisonous. A poison can be injected by syringe rather than ingested, so the distinction between the two is irrelevant.

Either way, it doesn't promote good health and a long life. I wouldn't want to get close to the snake one way or the other.

To set the record straight...

Venom is an organic protein and poison is inorganic like arsenic.

Cyber-D - your statement is correct in that venom is an organic protein and arsenic is an inorganic poison. However, it is not accurate to imply that all poisons are inorganic. There are many plants that are poisonous, such as oleander, which is one of the most toxic of commonly grown garden plants. It contains oleandrin and neriine, which are organic cardiac glycosides, in addition to other toxins. Every part of the plant is poisonous. In areas where oleanders are commonly grown in public areas, such as along highway medians, you will find warning signs posted.

Whoa. San Antonio? Isn't that near the Snake Farm?

None taken. <cough>

Yea cause I want to visit a zoo where they let the Cobras slither free

The reptile house is in a nocturnal setting no less. You have to run through.

With a flashlight, whistling and chanting 'here snake, come'on boy..oh sh*t, what was that?"

Better to waste my time on Twitter hisses from a cobra than to read your stupid comment.

Or waste my time commenting on other's wasting time, oh wait...

Are you the time police? It's theirs to waste.

Gosh it's refreshing just to know 200,000 people still have a sense of humor and are willing to share during this turbulent time.

Boomer57 - Amen brother! Er a sister? Amen anyway. Gotta keep laughing or go bonkers.

why are you not b*tching about all the retards wasting their time on MTV? :3

DITTO!!!!

It wasn't old enogh to buy a ticket, besides, it's credit card was maxed out.

Credit card maxed out. Must have been trying to scale back expenses. Get it. I said "scale". Outta my way, next stop Letterman..........ouch, something bit me.

..and he only had enough cash to afford a one-way ticket to Detroit.

Batam boom

Robert, good one!

Like Charlie Sheen's one way ticket to Detroit.

Or, "Back to Madagascar".

The snake thought about flying, but hated having to deal with airport security.

Cause its a lie. Its lost and they don't know where to find it.

Read the article before you post. The poisonous Egyptian cobra that vanished from its quarters at the Bronx Zoo last week was found on Thursday, safe, sound and all coiled up in a dark corner of the zoo's reptile house. Makes total sense. And the Twitter thing is hilarious (even tho I don't use Twitter).

They DID find it, right? Please, tell me they found it, I mean there was a picture of the snake, right? Or was it a photoshopped picture?

How would you know the picture is actually the REAL snake?

You mean venomous; I thought we had covered this in the previous class?

wrong! We need snakes, just not in my back yard.

apparently, Mr. Allen aka DUMBASS, never know that majority of heart relate medicine come from snake research.

My folks lived in our house when a job transfer took us to another country. Mom and dad did the yard work and when my mom would see a snake she would go after it with a vengence. I once saw her go after one with a shovel and mom won!

Someone mentoned eggs...I thought snakes gave live births???

only good allen77 is a dead allen77

It was just trying to get home to the NYSE.

He lives on Wall St. now with all the other bums.

van-1120261,

I didn't even know that until now... Probably the majority of the readers here didn't know that either. (+1 brownie point)

Not everyone here has such high education as you, "dumda**". (-1 brownie point)

Is now going to go Google "Snakes and their relation to heart medicine".

Ruth,

Depends on the snake. Some lay soft-shelled eggs, some give live birth.

I'm thinking this cobra is one of the egg types.

I f you killed all the snakes we would be taken over by mice and rats

If you take a peek at Congress I think we already are.
