Is Mark Zuckerberg actually a lizard?http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jun/16/is-mark-zuckerberg-a-lizard<< When Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg hosted a livestreamed Q&A earlier this week, he was probably expecting questions about emergent tech and online entrepreneurism rather than someone asking whether he was, in fact, a shape-shifting alien reptile.
"Mark, are the allegations true that you're secretly a lizard?" Zuckerberg read aloud, before replying in the negative and declaring the question "very silly". Well, he would say that, wouldn't he?
Zuckerberg is hardly the first prominent public figure to be fingered as a reptilian alien: everyone from George W Bush and Donald Rumsfeld to Simon Cowell and Kris Kristofferson (!) have faced similar accusations in recent years. As unlikely as it seems, the whole "reptoid" thing has become something of a meme in the internet age. >>
