Missing Bronx Zoo Cobra Launches Twitter Account

Charlie Sheen and Lady Gaga have some new competition on Twitter.

On Monday, a 20-in. Egyptian cobra escaped from the Bronx Zoo in New York City. The creature–or someone close to it, since snakes can’t type–launched a twitter account under the name BronxZoosCobra. The account had more than 80,000 followers as of 6 p.m. today. The followers included Meghan McCain and Rachel Maddow.

Some of the snake’s musings so far:

–According to the rules of Twitter, I think I’m supposed to announce a multi-city comedy tour now. Right @ConanOBrien & @CharlieSheen?

–On top of the Empire State Building! All the people look like little mice down there. Delicious little mice. #snakeonthetown
