Yeovil, UK resident Mark Taylor suffered a laptop failure when an earthworm crawled in through a vent and jammed the cooling fan. Computer technician Sam Robinson was able to repair the problem, reporting that the worm was, "burned to a frazzle". Mr. Taylor blamed his cats for the incident, suspecting that the earthworm may have been brought into his house by one of them, and then crawled into the laptop in an attempt to escape.
