Screw Snakes on a Plane, snakes falling out of trees on a calm May morning is a far more realistic danger. Last week, the Metropolitan Police Department reported snakes falling from trees in D.C. Be afraid, be very afraid:
The National Zoo says that rat snakes are shy and tend to avoid confrontation, but they will attack if provoked. If two snakes fall out of a tree directly in front of you, you're probably going to freak the fuck out and run in the other direction as opposed to doing anything to agitate it.
