Yesterday began the Year of the Snake. You can find a bunch of places online to tell you about this sign in the Chinese Zodiac, but I like National Geographic's the best.

"To usher in the Year of the Snake, [Andrew] Campbell [herpetology collections manager at the University of Kansas Biodiversity Institute] and herpetologist Dennis Ferraro at University of Nebraska-Lincoln weigh in on some of the snake's qualities that the Chinese zodiac predicts people born this year will have."
For example:
Horoscope: When snakes get down to work, they are organized and highly efficient, and they work quickly and quietly.
In Nature: While snakes are often perceived as lazy, Campbell said people are mistaken. "What we perceive as shy, lazy, or inactive is really efficiency," he said.

It comes complete with photos of really cool snakes.
