XKCD Isn't Funny - #1398 - SNAKE FACTS

 
I don't understand why this would be funny. At all.
 
If the facts were all obviously false, that could have been kinda funny if the facts were clearly false but there was a heavy insistence that they were true. If there were two serious facts and then a pointless, obvious one, that would have been really lame, but it could have been funny.
 
Instead we get, in order: a fact that when researched is actually one of many hypothesises (hypothesi?), a blatantly untrue fact, and a failed attempt at a parody of a type of typical interesting fact.
 
Just... what's the point of this? What am I expected to look at this comic and focus on?
 
The joke in the second fact is kinda funny, but it's in the middle of the comic. If that was the punchline to the whole thing (which would be a lot of buildup for that joke of all things), shouldn't it be at the end?
 
As always, I invite XKCD fans to show me how I'm wrong, but right now this comic is just a mess.
