Bringing about the fall of man was pretty awesome, especially considering that I had to do it while wearing a snake suit. Let me tell you, that shit ain’t easy. You try to instigate Original Sin while dressed as a scaly creature with no arms, no legs, and a forked tongue, and see how far you get.

That's Me in the Corner

See, when I inhabit a body, be it human or snake or tarsir, my powers are limited. That’s not to say I can’t pull any supernatural shit, but the body I inhabit imposes certain physical limits. For example, I made the snake talk, but I didn’t make the snake fly. If I had, you would’ve heard about it, because it would have been extremely awesome, and the guys who wrote Genesis would not have wanted to leave it out.

This, I think, raises the question: Why did I bother with the snake suit? It’s a good question. It’s not as if I really had to worry about Eve, you know? I mean, think about it for a second: Eve had an extended conversation about whether to eat an apple from the tree of knowledge with a fucking snake. I could have appeared as a flaming Emu for all the difference it would have made to that dumb yatch.
