10 Suprising Things Found Inside Computers



In 2002, technician Brian Fox from Brisbane, Australia was called to a job site which was a gardening/grass-growing farm in the general area of Boonah. The office area had some small holes in the walls, and sometimes had vermin in the office area. The office people called him one day because their computer wasn't working when it was turned on. They had heard a hissing noise when they turned it on, and he came to check it out. First, he put his hand around the back of the computer to "feel" whether the cords were all in place, then he spun the computer around to find the snake!
The snake was a baby red-belly black snake, which is highly deadly (when alive). It apparently crawled into the computer seeking the warmth of the computer fan after it was turned off for the day, but got electrocuted on the power source on the way out.
