Cig Smokin' Snake?

"Puff adder: Po the viper has a cigarette. Bet he has trouble lighting them... 

That's because the three-year-old reptile from Taipei in Taiwan has become hooked on nicotine, thanks to his owner Sho Lau's 20-a-day habit. 'He is very tame and one day when I threw a cigarette butt away he went for it and seemed to enjoy having it in his mouth,' said 33-year-old Lau. 'One thing led to another and before long he was having one cigarette in the morning and another at night.' 'He gets very agitated if I don't have any to spare,' he added."

Snakes these days huh?  One minute they're digging their venom branded fangs into harmless rats, then the next minute they're having a celebratory cig.  We're worried about America's youth?  I think Mr. Obama needs to reconsider his education and healthcare plans and focus our resources on finding a cure for snake cancer.  At least snakes are resistant to skin cancer since they shed their layers off daily or something right?  Vote 5 stars if you're concerned about our snake population and their newest addiction, or 1 star if you think the snakes are on to something here...
