Notice how it's body doesn't change shape when draped over the screw driver shaft? And how would it get it's head out of the fan? I doubt it'd want to get out until the computer was turned on. It'd try to and get fapped in the face by a fan blade.


lame, sucka.

couldn't it of had its head through the fan blade, then when the fan tried to rotate it wouldn't because it was blocked, that would explain the twisting of the area just under its head.
It does look real to me, and Firewall o_O

er... seemed to me as if the story went:

Lady turns computer on, as snake is half way out of fan, blade starts turning, gets no further, H4X0rs snake...

hence why is was half way out?...
i dunno if its real or not, but if i had to choose, id pick real.

It looks pretty beat up in the last pic, looks like it's got burns and stuff.
It looks fake in the upside down pic though.

Wouldn't like to put any money on whether it's fake or not.

look at the inside shot of the snake

as well as getting cut up by the fan

it should have caused the psu to blow as its lying on all the fucking traces and crap

and IF that aint proof

a spinning psu fan can cut a finger up when starting from scratch
you cant completely cut your finger off with a spade as it hits bone

but you can cut a snake in half with a spade as its only muscel

therefore a snake is weaker than a mans finger

meaning it should get fucked up more than a finger if left in a psu fan

the snake aint fucked up

so its a fake

Maybe it wasn't on when the snake crawled in?

BS, a PSU fan wouldn't fuck you up unless you stuck your finger into it when it was going full tilt. Even then you'd only come off with a little bit of bruising, or maybe a really small cut if you were unlucky.

I lived in queensland for 2 years and am pretty sure you could buy rubber snakes that look very similar to that one.

Given that it is the University of Queensland website it smells of a hoax to me. Pretty funny though.

You sound as though you have tested this theory.

have been reading a bit more about it from other websites, The website has a (now dead) link pointing to a canadian website where a technician says he found it, but it is an Aussie snake!

A mildly amusing story about the perils of getting animals such as….a SNAKE stuck in your computer. I have heard of birds, mice and rats…but never a snake. Thanks Blair.


It was then he saw a snake's head protruding from the disk holder. He grabbed for the reptile, but it disappeared into the entrails of the computer. Mr. St-Jean unplugged the computer and brought it outside. The snake emerged after he unscrewed one side and tapped on the computer.

However the more I read other articles about it the more I seem to believe it

a snake is not just muscle, it has a skeleton too...

and snakes look like that from underneath, they are very rubbery

and it didnt move or drop cos probly been dead for awhile and you know how living things get stiff after dying....

and you can cut right thru your finger with a spade, if you hit hard enough the bone will just shatter, also it could go thru the join...
