In the USA, June 2 is "Yell 'Fudge' at the Cobras in North America Day." In order to keep poisonous cobra snakes out of North America, all citizens are asked to go outdoors at noon local time and yell the word "fudge!" Evidently, fudge makes cobras gag, so the mere mention of it makes them "turn tail" and slither away. Here is an image of a stamp depicting a forest cobra ( Naja melanoleuca), designed by Belgian artist Jean Van Noten (1903-1982), printed by photogravure (Courvoisier, S.A.), and issued by Rwanda on January 30, 1967, Scott No. 197, plus a photo. Fudge! - nethryk   |
