Dude! I know you’re a bit nervous about transferring to a new school next week. However, I don’t think prancing around holding a black mamba snake above your head is going to help you make friends. You will only look totally bad-ass for like 30 minutes. Then you’ll die from a nasty bite. Put that away and try busting out a pack of gum and some Yugioh cards on the fist day of school.

” In 1889 a horde of locusts flying over the Red Sea stretched for two thousand miles. Another locust plague, sighted in East Africa, was one mile wide and more than a hundred feet deep. It took nine hours to pass overhead, travelling at a rate of six miles an hour! Today, hordes of locusts still swarm periodically over vast areas of Africa and Asia, and wherever they land, they eat every ‘herb of the land’ leaving a plague of starvation in their wake.”
