'Last night my computer started making a lot of hissing noises at me so I shut it down. This morning when I turned it on the computer started hissing and cracking, then started smoking and a bad smell, then nothing'.
TECH SUPPORT:
'I will have a technician come over first thing this morning. Leave the computer just like it is, so they can find the problem and fix it, or change it out with another computer. Give me your address; phone number and the technician will be there just as soon as he can'. When the technician got there, the lady showed him where the computer was, said what happened to it,... this is what the technician found wrong.
Take a look at the pictures... YOU WON'T BELIEVE YOUR EYES ...
The technician told her: ... 'It must have been after the mouse!'
... The woman didn't think it was very funny at all!
It's interesting that the term "change it out" was used by the technician, which is a very American term, yet the snake is a red bellied black snake and the power supply is 230V. Snopes still has it listed as undetermined since it was listed there in 2002.

Hi all;
Yes seen several things like that, microwave ovens, can't read the display, turned out to be the inside of the microwave had a family of ****roaches inside. And the other one was a small goanna and worked it's way into a televisions set and had made it's way to the power supply, exit one goanna. A new power supply to replace the original one and the television was fit to go back home.
All i can say is it's just a shocking state of affairs.

Whatever enjoy and let your imaginations run wild with the possibilities.
