No, not a reference to Hagee-McCain. A fossil from Lebanon clearly depicts a snake with legs.
Apparently, this is a big deal for people who’ve never visited Washington, DC.

Those legs aren’t worth anything. They won’t even reach the pedals.
Legs, hunh.
Let me know when they find a fossil with a briefcase.

A snake with two legs?
Isn’t that a disabled lizard? I can’t believe that you would poke [fun] at a disabled lizard.
I see them every day ….
The Virginia eastern slender glass lizard haz no legs at all. It looks very snakey, but blinks. Its tail breaks off if you try to SNAP IT LIKE A TWIG.
It isn’t a snake.
I’m tired of these muthafuckin’ snakes with muthafuckin’ legs on this muthafuckin’ plane!
Seven comments and not one person has made the obvious “that’s not a leg, that’s his cock” joke.
And it is his cock. Snakes don’t have legs.
Don’t believe me? Put it in your mouth and see for yourself.
Grandpa!
Seriously, a reasonbly alternative explanation is that these are claspers (much like are mentioned at the end of the article that we find in current, modern snake species) and do have function for reproduction – certainly aren’t ‘worthless’. ‘Claspers’ exist in other species like sharks, for example.
So, those are legs, not a cock – but they provide cock leverage – which is important if you’ve ever attempted some serious grudge f**king on satin sheets where you can’t sink the toes in. Well, so I’ve hear anyway.
To make postapocalyptic archeologists say stupid things, we should all be buried with other dead people’s arms hanging out of our butts.
(Whose arms, you say? Well, I don’t listen to loser talk.)

That snake was trying to evolve, until nishi told it about the wedge strategy and it opted for voluntary extinction.
Ric,
“Fossil with Briefcase”
RTO,
That’s not a fossil. It isn’t buried deep enough.
Both statements are true.

Classic. Simply classic.
Well, there are two of them.
Well, you know, I’ve heard that some animals have two cocks… I could do with a double dong myself ;)
