I don't know if you wrote this or heard it, but it's an excellent joke.

American copperheads will use anything but the metric system.

No, it's offensive (and typically dangerous) to stomp a snake with feet.

Snakes don't have feet

Upvoted for general truth, but are you totally sure about that?

Apparently, snakes actually do still have the genetics for legs and feet, but they're almost always dormant genes. Almost..

Edit: The video link I posted is apparently of a rare species of skink, but there is still truth in what I said. Apparently it's stupid rare to find an actual snake with even hints of legs, but they do exist.

Let's try that again...

Genesis 3:14-15

The Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and above all beasts of the field; on your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life. I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.”

No because a snake can't be offended

It's legally a hate crime
