Looking for Votesssss: Help Name Woodland Park Zoo's Python
We can all agree that Facebook's "Questions" feature is fairly irritating and mostly useless. But leave it to Woodland Park Zoo to use it for good, rather than evil (or annoying). This week, they're looking for help naming their newest reptile, a 100-lb male python. Of the nearly 400 names submitted, the choices have been narrowed down to the following, according to the zoo:

- Java - in honor of its roots in Southeast Asia and Seattle
- Rimbo - “jungle” in Indonesian
- Kaa - from “Jungle Book”
- Pogi - “good looking” in Tagalog (Filipino)
- Sundara - “beautiful” in Hindi
The polls close tomorrow, so log into your Facebook (I know, I know. But do it for the Zoo!) and vote.
