Non-Glasgow Mega-Snake


Another beastie has been found in Grand Central Station...and it's 48 feet long.

The titanoboa, if it existed today, would weigh over 2,500 pounds, and eat little kids left at right trying to take public mass transit.  A full-scale replica of the reptile was unveiled, as Smithsonian spokesperson Randall Kremer added, to "scare the daylights out of people" - and promote an exhibit at the National Museum of Natural History in D.C. opening on March 30. The super-reptile would have slithered 65 million years ago, come waist-high to a man, and been longer than a school bus.  

If you can't be bothered to visit New York's travel hubs, the Smithsonian Channel is also airing a program on the monster April 1.
