(Presenting a weekly feature where we display an LOLcat picture and overanalyze the caption, in relation to the photo.)

We foray briefly away from the Felis Catus pictures into the not-so-wide world of LOLSnakes.

This picture is definitely a comment on the futility of the human experience, and how pointless it is to try to shelter yourself from the evils of the world. This member of the suborder Serpentes has often been representative of the devil, or for evil incarnate, especially in the Judeo-Christian psyche.

If one encounters this snake and is challenged to a staring contest, nothing you do will save you from having your face bitten. You win, he bites your face, in anger for haven beaten him. You lose, he bites your face as his prize for having won the contest. If you tie, you get the closest thing there is to a prize — he buys you a steak. But then, inevitably, he bites your face. It is as unavoidable as the fact that we all die. It is clear that this snake is teaching the viewer a lesson about how this cannot be avoided, and there is no way to win or lose.
