Snakes: Surprisingly Not The Devil
March 12, 2008
Passed this sign on Ellett Valley Nature Trail today.
Uh… what?
I would wonder who exactly finds this “theory” surprising. But I reckon the 20% of Americans in 1999 who thought the sun revolves around the earth might suspect snakes are the devil. Or perhaps, the 40% of Alabama residents who voted againsts interracial marriage in 2000?
Whoever they may be, I guess we should all breathe a big sigh of relief that this sign is out there to set everyone straight.

[...] With just a little of daylight left, we explored the Ellett Valley Nature Trail in Blacksburg just off of Jennell Road. The trail is a one-mile loop and it doesn’t have any fancy schamcy stuff like waterfalls or overlooks. But it goes by a spring and an amazing variety of trees. Along the trail a number of signs are placed to educate visitors on ferns, bugs, invasive species, the power of ice and, oh yeah, how snakes are NOT the devil. [...]

I love signs like that! But, yeah, the people who need those signs do kinda scare me. Same group that needs their baby stroller to have a warning tag on it that says not to fold it up with the baby inside.
Poison Oak, on the other hand, really IS evil…

I bet those last 4 comments all came from the same IP
you know what’s harmed me far more than snakes?
trolls.
specifically: religious trolls.
But at least the trolls proved Vicky’s original point: The world is full of dumbasses who need signs to tell them the obvious, because they’d rather listen to their sky faries than to science.
