Choi Jung Hyun assembles non-venomous viper with recycled keyboards

Yeah, this one's been slithering around the alleyways of the web for a tick, but it's just too hard to ignore a vicious looking viper created entirely from unwanted keyboards (okay, so glue and a faux tongue were involved, too). Still, the best part isn't the unquestionably amazing use of the dreaded Caps Lock key, it's the crowd of mice this thing is getting ready to feast on. Better check yo'self before you wreck yo'self, kids.

Pretty clever, I like it.

[Adam @ Apr 4th 2008 11:16AM]

Think the TSA would allow that on a plane?

[Danger @ Apr 4th 2008 1:00PM]

I have had it with these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane!

[AdamY @ Apr 4th 2008 11:22AM]

That is freaking awesome.

I'd buy that sculpture.

[Big Al @ Apr 4th 2008 11:23AM]

I wonder how many Starcraft gamers ruined enough keyboards to make that thing.

[Mark @ Apr 4th 2008 11:24AM]

snakes on a plane! no way!

[riggs @ Apr 4th 2008 11:29AM]

PUNCH THE KEYS FOR GODS SAKE!

[aardvark sandwich @ Apr 4th 2008 11:30AM]

It would be even cooler if it had a scale patter with black + grey keys

[y3k.nik @ Apr 4th 2008 11:30AM]

The kid with the blue shirt has a scratch on his face on the cheekbone (i think that is what the area is called)... are you sure the snake is not alive, biting unsuspecting kids?

[Anthony H. @ Apr 4th 2008 11:36AM]

Looks more like hair to me.

[aardvark sandwich @ Apr 4th 2008 11:31AM]

nice Finding Forrester reference

[JJ @ Apr 4th 2008 11:39AM]

Wow... I want one. Thats really cool.

[Billy Fiul @ Apr 4th 2008 12:00PM]

No, it's definitely a flesh wound.

[hugoliva @ Apr 4th 2008 12:05PM]

Crikey

[Keisha Kornbread @ Apr 4th 2008 12:10PM]

Why? Someone tell me....why?

[Mark @ Apr 4th 2008 12:15PM]

that kid has some awesome hair.

[Anonymoose @ Apr 4th 2008 12:22PM]

that's not actually hair. that's a wig fashioned out of ps2 cables

[Anonymoose @ Apr 4th 2008 12:20PM]

see? who needs tactile keys anymore.

sorry, this is the only way i can think of getting the iphone somehow in the conversation. this is engadget, after all, and if engadget isn't mentioning it in the post, then it's going to find itself somewhere in the replies. you can thank me later.

[Lowest Ranked @ Apr 4th 2008 12:31PM]

Dude, I usually love your witty comments (like the reply above) but C'MON!

[Anonymoose @ Apr 4th 2008 12:36PM]

i should have just thrown in some memes and portuguese into that post to salvage it, because if you dont like it then, you're not an internet geek and you're pretty freaking racist. actually, even then, it would have been beyond repair. i am trying to think of something to salvage this post...

boobs are awesome?

[Vesh @ Apr 4th 2008 12:20PM]

Just realized those were "Mice" next to the snake. Awesome.

Buuuut, if memory serves me correctly, mice run AWAY from snakes? (Or are those supposed to be baby vipers?)

[James Castleberry @ Apr 4th 2008 12:29PM]

very creative!!! Love it!

[matthew Crawford @ Apr 4th 2008 10:08PM]

Shoulda used the Optimus Maximus keys for some psychedelic action.

[j. @ Apr 4th 2008 12:43PM]

If you look at the arrangement of the sculpture, the Mice are actually attacking the snake, and it's collapsing as a result. Now thats a sLick undertone!

[Vesh @ Apr 4th 2008 12:59PM]

I think you're right, nice catch. So the mice bring the demise/reduced importance of the snake/keyboard....eh?

I'm going to log off the intartubz now.

[Ignatius @ Apr 4th 2008 1:23PM]

Gotta count CS:S too.

[Ignatius @ Apr 4th 2008 1:23PM]

Oh, that's right, reply system is busted. Awesome. :P

[xValentine @ Apr 4th 2008 1:39PM]

Loved it.

But I want to see a snake like that made on Razer Lycosa's uber keys. ^_^

[x.y @ Apr 14th 2008 9:54AM]

lol! that's cooooool!

[Esat @ Apr 4th 2008 2:40PM]

now we just need to make a mongoose out of processors and watch the carnage commence!

My money's on the mongoose.

[kal326 @ Apr 4th 2008 2:53PM]

Who wants to bet somewhere on that snake is the three finger salute, Crtl+Alt+Del?

[gabedamien @ Apr 4th 2008 5:27PM]

Amazing that nobody has commented that this is not a viper. It's a cobra. Did nobody actually look at the photo?

[daniel @ Apr 4th 2008 6:36PM]

Gosh. Someone needs a haircut.

[CDN Crockett @ Apr 4th 2008 7:54PM]

Where do I send a cheque?

[tribalmasters @ Apr 5th 2008 6:22AM]

That kid is EMO!!!!

[laur3ooo @ Apr 5th 2008 7:57AM]

Actually that would be great for a chameleon, the Optimus I mean.

[Jherez @ Apr 5th 2008 12:52PM]

No look at the way the Mice are facing...they're moving away

[gabedamien @ Apr 7th 2008 3:27PM]

Where are you from that mice have tails sticking out of their noses? Chernobyl?

[Nelson @ Apr 7th 2008 5:51AM]

The kid got jab by the snake in the picture, right on the face. I think this snake belongs in the sequel, Snake On The Plane 2: Keyboard Damage
