Apparently, stupid selfies are not restricted to Russia. Yes, that is right. The United States needs its own public service campaign. In case you missed the story, Alex Gomez, 36, from Lake Elsinore, CA was bitten by a rattlesnake he picked up to take a selfie with.
In the interest of public safety, I have developed the “No Selfie with Rattlesnakes” sign above. Feel free to post this sign wherever rattlesnakes may be present.
Fortunately, I live near Minneapolis, and we don’t have rattlesnakes here.

Ummm…you may want to re-think that last comment, Mark. http://www.herpnet.net/Minnesota-Herpetology/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=97:-timber-rattlesnake-crotalus-horridus&catid=39:minnesota-snakes&Itemid=61
Rattlesnakes are present in the southeastern corner of Minnesota. They are not present in the central and northern parts of the state, including Minneapolis and St. Paul.
