Title: You better look to make sure you don\'t have one of these inside your pc!
Post by: Capcom on January 18, 2003, 04:21:40 PM: I came across this page, and it made me open up my pc for a double check. I must warn you that it is gross, and atleast made me weary of my pc.

No clue why it would go in? Maybe for the heat if this really happened. I have always heard that a snake will crawl into your sleeping bag if you are out camping. That could be an urban legend type thing though.

faked

Post by: Capcom on January 18, 2003, 07:00:03 PM: On the page it says when the guy turned on the pc it had problems. My guess if it really happened is that it crawled in while the pc was off. Then when they turned it back on it either got shocked or scared, and decided to try to get out of the pc one way or another.

I am not saying it is not fake, but alot of strange things happen in this crazy world, and I can see it happening.

Post by: Viper_Fujax on January 18, 2003, 08:11:36 PM: it looks a little too convienent that the snake was popping its head out and he had a camera at the time of him taking it out. I could see someone bored getting their snake and putting it there. Then again anything can happen.

Post by: Unicron! on January 19, 2003, 01:12:12 AM: If the snake got in there by it self it would have been his tail sticking out of the fan not his head.

Post by: Kurt Angle on January 19, 2003, 03:01:16 AM: That\'s pretty funny, if it is real surely the snake would have been decapitated by the fan.

How powerful do u think these fans are.... it would have stopped the fan and climbed through it without any problems.

If it was real. It would have crawled in after he used he\'s pc for warmth. Then when he turned on the pc, it freaked and tried to get out then fried itself.

Post by: mm on January 19, 2003, 07:24:54 AM: the fans are quite powerfull for a snake to even think of trying to slither thru it while running

its a joke

Post by: Darth Joyda on January 19, 2003, 07:30:47 AM: I don\'t believe the story either - while it is possible for a snake to crawl into a computer in theory, I just don\'t buy those pictures.

Why there are date- and clock-markings in only two of the photos?

Post by: Titan on January 19, 2003, 11:41:18 AM: Its faked. Look at the evidence. First off, you\'d notice and woldn\'t call tech support if there was a snake hanging out the back. Second, the guy said that there was smoke. The snake doesn\'t look burned at all. Third, it looks rubber to me. Also, I noticed that the computer case looks like it doesn\'t have all teh components inside. Fake.

Post by: square_marker on January 19, 2003, 11:49:44 AM: Do you have any idea how many rubber fake snakes there are out there for gags and pranks. Also, the guy who made the web page gave it away. The way he said, If you dont believe me, look at these pictures! Yea ok buddy....whatever you say ;)
