Ever see a non-herp news story or article...

and immediately relate it to herps?

I saw this picture from the story about the 100-car pileup on the PA Turnpike due to the bad weather, and immediately thought "I hope no one's snake is on that FedEx truck!"

I've been watching this stuff all day on NBC. The Fedex truck might be totaled, but at least it didn't get completely smushed! Hopefully everything's ok.

Everyone got lucky, too-- mostly minoor injuries. I think only one fatality in 150 cars. Gods rest their soul, but many, many people are thanking their lucky stars to be alive.
