“Snake in the Grass…Literally: Venomous Viper Discovered Snoozing in Model Train Set Tunnel”
In a shocking turn of events that has left authorities scratching their heads, a venomous snake was found snoozing peacefully in a model train set tunnel at an undisclosed location. Because what’s more relaxing than a afternoon nap amidst the hum of tiny locomotives and the gentle rustle of miniature trees?
According to eyewitnesses (okay, so it was just one guy who happened to be visiting his grandma), the snake in question, identified as a venomous viper, seemed completely unfazed by the tiny trains chugging along above its head. In fact, it almost looked like it was enjoying the gentle vibrations.
“I was just looking around and I saw this…this…thing,” said the eyewitness (aka Grandma’s favorite grandson). “At first, I thought it was a toy or something, but then I realized it was actually moving. And then I saw its fangs. Yeah, that was pretty cool.”
When questioned about how exactly one goes from napping to venomous viper-dom, experts were stumped.
“I mean, I’ve seen some weird things in my time,” said Dr. Jane Smith, a local herpetologist (look it up). “But this takes the cake. Or should I say, it takes the snake?”
Meanwhile, local authorities have cordoned off the area and are urging residents to remain calm.
“Don’t worry, folks,” said Chief Bob Johnson in a statement. “We’ve got this under control. Unless, of course, you’re allergic to snakes. In which case, please avoid the area at all costs.”
In related news, local model train enthusiasts are reporting a sudden surge in interest in their hobby.
“I mean, who wouldn’t want to build a miniature railway with a venomous snake lurking beneath?” said John Doe, president of the Model Train Enthusiasts of America. “It’s like a real-life game of Snake…I mean, snakes.”
As for the snake itself? Well, let’s just say it’s getting a lot of attention on social media.
“I’m not saying I’m a fan of snakes,” said @SarahSnakesAreTheWorst on Twitter, “but this one is kinda cute?”
Who knew venomous vipers could be so… relatable?
Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story. And if you happen to see any snakes snoozing in miniature tunnels, just…don’t wake them up, okay?
