Deal of the Day: Is that a snake in your pocket or are you wishing me a happy birthday?

After reviewing hundreds of half-off deals for birthday parties there is pretty much nothing new. There are the usual deals on cakes, balloons, pizzas and arcade games, clowns, and even group activities like ceramics. But this one did cause a second look.

A LivingSocial deal from Indianapolis, Indiana allows you to invite Snakehead Ed to your next child's birthday. No, Snakehead Ed's head is not shaped like a snake but he is a retired science teacher who likes to collect snakes. He has taken that hobby into a sideline of showing off his menagerie of reptiles for groups of kids. He will create a 45-minute program about his snakes and bring them to your child's party.

Something different for a party and it sounds educational and fun, unless someone suffers from ophidiophobia (fear of snakes).
