reasons to like snakes

1. They are smooth and free of projections (except the ones with  eye ridges)
2. The most famous snake is the biggest creature on earth
3. And it has a cool name: Ouroboros
4. Some are so fast they can chase you down and kill you with one bite
5. For the timid, there are some that resemble worms
6. But they are smooth and cool and not slimy at all
7.  Like most arthropods,  you can escape them if you are willing to live in the frozen north
8. They make S's out of themselves — how cool is that?!
