Take Me To Post Comment Form Okay, come out of that shell of yours.

Oh, wait, you are a turtle and you don't have a shell?

That's like a lizard who walks the desert sands without any legs!!!

Wait? What was that? They found one of those? In Brazil, you say?

No!!!! Say it ain't so, Charlie!!!

Heh, what'dya know.

Scientists, also known as "They," apparently discovered a legless lizard in Brazil.

"They" said this about the limbless lizard:
"With a pointed snout and missing legs, the new Bachia lizard species looks like a slithering snake."

Looks like a slithering snake, eh? Hmmm.

"They" supposedly found 13 other species, as well, such as a dwarf woodpecker.

I wonder how Woody feels about that? Did he visit that dwarf colony and deliver that annoying laugh of his?

A lizard with no legs.

Looks like a slithering snake.

Help me out here ... how different is a slithering snake from a legless lizard?

So can't we say a lizard with no legs is the same snake?

After all it LOOKS like a snake.

I guess if a snake can be called a lizard, there are other things we can change identities or assumptions.

If a snake can be called a lizard, that scorpion in the Iraqi desert is a weapon of mass destruction.

If a snake can be called a lizard, then O.J. really was innocent.

If a snake can be called a lizard, then we can call George Dubya Bush a chimp.

If a snake can be called a lizard, let's say Brittany Spears is a great mother AND singer.

If a snake can be called a lizard, then Michael Jackson is a white ... um ... man?

If a snake can be called a lizard, then Bill O'Reilly and everyone else on Fox News Channel is truly objective and centrist.

If a snake can be called a lizard, then Roger Clemens stuck a needle in his "dairy air" and thought he was injecting water into his body.

If a snake can be called a lizard, then John McCain is a young buck. (He's not really old, he just died his hair white and sleeps in water to make his skin all prune-like).

If a snake can be called a lizard, then you actually will go around town telling people that this was the greatest blog you ever read!
