Unhappy 'We,' the Popular 2-Headed Snake, Dies at 8 Years Old

FOXNews.com - 'We,' the Popular 2-Headed Snake, Dies at 8 Years Old - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News

ok, I'm looking at fox news this morning having my coffee and this is what I see.

1. why is this news?

2. who the heck cares?

3. Don't we have more important things we could be hearing about?

sorry if i seem a might crass about this thismorning, but I think we could be spending out time on more important issues in the new rather than a two headed snake.

I've had it with FOX NEWS over time it became a show and not the NEWS. Morning Joe on MSNBC with Joe Scarborough is much better,I hope they keep him on.

Dont knock the snakes

I see your point but I have to interject my own.
That was a young snake and never had a chance of living.
I believe reptiles are some of the most amazing critters on the planet. I have 4 of them running around in my yard.
And most are smarter than me...I mean they can survive where I would die. Snakes and reptiles are smarter than most humans. How else could they be here for 200 million years.

Pore little snake, it never had a chance at a real life. May it, rest in peace. It will be missed.

He IS more news-worthy than the two-legged Hilton Inn . . . this is the loss of a life, not the waste of one.

I'd rather read this than 12 US Military Men dying over 48 hours.

I wouldn't mind so much hearing of OUR military deaths if they would also anounce how many ENEMY we killed that month too! Put it in it's proper perspective. The MSM makes it sound like we are dying without doing anything!

There's nothing that says we have to ignore the small, interesting stories just because there are big stories out there.

This reminds me of the angst-ridden college sophomores out there who believe it's a sin for us to be happy while there's tragedy or misery anywhere in the world; most of us outgrow that sort of nonsense.

I'm surprised the snake lived that long. Two-headed creatures usually have some serious health issues, and often can't feed properly.

Way off base!
I just wanted to know what made this front page news instead of the positive things we are doing overseas. or even the political sistuations here.
nothing to do with "we shouldn't be happy" crap.
just couldn't figure out what on earth made this front page worthy on FOX. I could see it on MSNBC or CNN. just struck me as odd on FOX.

Can't have heavy, 'important' news all the time, colt. Even Fox needs to lighten up occasionally.
