Well, it was a beautiful snake. But, no, I'm not one of those.

I guess I was a little on the slow side on this one. I just thought you were one of those PETA nuts.

Well then, Wim. Why oh why did he take a picture?! The serpentine belts should be put on by experts, you wouldn't recommend someone tune their own piano.

Excuse me, Fenton, but why should the driver be arrested? The snake crawled up in the engine before he drove off. It's not like the guy knew the snake was in there.

This is just another example of an absolute cruel and unethical treatment of other life forms that we share out planet with. The driver of that car should be arrested.

What is that? A copperheaded cottonmouth rattlesnake fan belt?

Next time you hear a funny noise under the hood of your car, take your tuning hammer with you, just in case.

BROKEN FAN BELT MUST SEE!!!
A guy in St. Louis was driving to work on Highway 144 when he heard a 'pop'!
He thought it sounded like a flat tire, though his ride wasn't affected. After pulling over, checking the tires and finding them intact, he opened the hood to look at the motor. Before the hood was even opened all the way, he jumped back in shock and knocked his head on the partially opened hood, unable to believe what his eyes were seeing! Nobody was going to believe this!
You sure wouldn't have either! Fortunately, a co-worker with a camera recognized him along side the road and stopped to see if he could help.
Scroll down and check out the photos to witness for yourself the source of his amazement.
This has to be right up there at the top of the list of unusual but verified 'Reasons I was late for work!'
