Are you following @BronxZoosCobra? If you’re unfamiliar with the story, the Bronx Zoo has lost a rather venomous snake*, an Egyptian Cobra, and in the ensuing New York panic, an incredibly clever person created a Twitter account in the name of the snake.

Nerdy things that make me laugh: QI

Eddie Kritzer: Holiday Edition, ctd
No update on the Kritz would be complete without a creepy email littered with bad grammar from the jerk himself. Dearest Ashley, I haven’t heard from you in so long I was concerned that you lost your job editing, but then i checked IMDbPro.com http://imdb.com/name/nm1736719/ and saw you had no credits at all.
