It solved
the problem at hand.
By the time of his last years at Harvard, Stallman was
beginning to apply the whimsical and irreverent lessons
of the AI Lab back at school.
"Did he tell you about the snake?" his mother asks at
one point during an interview. "He and his dorm mates
put a snake up for student election. Apparently it got
a considerable number of votes."
Stallman verifies the snake candidacy with a few
caveats. The snake was a candidate for election within
Currier House, Stallman's dorm, not the campus-wide
student council. Stallman does remember the snake
attracting a fairly significant number of votes, thanks
in large part to the fact that both the snake and its
owner both shared the same last name. "People may have
voted for it, because they thought they were voting for
the owner," Stallman says. "Campaign posters said that
the snake was `slithering for' the office. We also said
it was an `at large' candidate, since it had climbed
into the wall through the ventilating unit a few weeks
before and nobody knew where it was.
