I s’ppose rattlesnakes can’t be ninjas. Yes — they got the striking and the stinging part right, but they are not really masters of subtlety; they make too much noise and take a considerable amount of time to make a **** and they can never hold katanas and hurl throwing stars. I guess rattlesnakes are doomed to crawl and rattle on, announcing Hey, I carry venom, as the rats would thank their ears and the hawks circle above.
