First and last for Bangkok 8

First:

The African-American in the gray Mercedes will soon die of bites from Naja siamensis, but we don't know that  yet, Pichai and I (the future is impenetrable, says the Buddha.)

Last:

Inside, our live entertainment is singing "Bye Bye Blackbird."

Naja siamensis is a spitting cobra, one of the six species found in Asia. It appears that all Najas are cobras but not all cobras are Najas.
