1. I know someone who used to work in the reptile house at the Detroit Zoo

So I feel for the employees at the Bronx Zoo. Must have been anxious times.

They're so cute when they're young.

10. That movie was worthy of an academy award

Simply brilliant.

19. It really was

You know and they knew they were making a spoof of disaster movies, but unlike the Airplane movies, they played it absolutely straight--which made the spoof even funnier than it already was.

BTW, does anyone know how the motherfucking snakes made it to the area ABOVE the passenger compartment, when they started out in the cargo hold?

8. I feel sorry for from the beginning

She belongs in Egypt, warming herself among hot desert rocks, hunting mice and laying eggs. Must have been chilly for her in the reptile building out of her cell.

More escape attempts, wanting to run away and get into show business...

14. I want to know where it was found.

[Baclava]

16. 'found in a dark corner' and it is a she. Young adolescent female, restless to get out of the house

It happens.
