Why I shouldn't wake up to NPR in the morning...

a) I dream about being in Israel/Iraq/Gaza/etc and running because bombs are falling.

b) I dream about being on a school bus with someone who is showing me a snake skeleton that is on the floor and extends the whole length of the bus, then I see this headline on Yahoo! when I get to school this morning:
"Stunned scientists find the fossilized remains of a record-busting snake as long as a bus."

And suddenly it all becomes clear... :-P
