What is a Hoop Snake?
A hoop snake is a creature whose existence is just a legend or myth. It is supposed to be a dangerous snake that is able to form itself into a hoop shape and roll around like a wheel. This story seems to be told primarily in North America, although versions of it also are told in Australia. The existence of the hoop snake has never been proven, but the story still persists.
According to legend, the hoop snake at times appears just like any other snake. Its unique feature is the ability to form itself into a hoop shape by biting its own tail and holding it in its mouth, keeping the rest of its body rigid at the same time. Once in this position, it is supposed to be able to roll around like a wheel or a hula hoop on its side. While doing this, the hoop snake can move much faster than an ordinary snake, making it quite dangerous. There are many tales of the snake using this ability to chase down human prey. It is said only to do this while attacking, not while trying to escape from predators.

Some versions of the story talk about the hoop snake also having a poisonous stinger at the end of its tail. In these versions of the story, once the creature catches up with its prey it uses this stinger to kill its victim. Some variations have the snake rolling along looking for a victim, then quickly striking out with its tail at an unsuspecting person. Others have the snake stopping its motion and straightening out at the last minute, using the tail more like a spear. The only way to escape death from the hoop snake's poisonous tail is supposed to be by hiding behind a tree, so the poison kills the tree instead.
A few people theorize that the legend may have been inspired in North America by a habit of the common mud snake, which often lies in the sun with its body coiled very loosely, in a shape similar to a hoop. Some think it may have been inspired by the ancient ouroboros symbol, which shows a serpent or dragon in a circular shape, swallowing its own tail. This symbol is said to represent the cyclical nature of many things. Whatever its origin, there are still occasional hoop snake sightings reported, in spite of the fact that scientists have never confirmed its existence.

There are, in fact, hoop snakes. I have seen several, growing up in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies, but the snakes are very rare.
Researchers at the University of Calgary in Alberta Canada have have a secret research program at the Canadian Rockies and Foothills Biogeoscience Institute at the Barrier Lake experimental station in the Kananaskis valley. (The G7 meetings were held in the valley several years ago, with world leaders in attendance, including George W. Bush. Hoop snakes were clandestinely used for back up security by the CIA during that conference.
This program must be kept secret, as the venom is so terribly poisonous and there is no known antidote. If it was to fall into the hands of terrorists, like Al Qaida or one of the weird militias or other such losers, it could be catastrophic for the planet. The institute staff are sworn to secrecy and will deny all knowledge of these rare snakes and this program.
Interestingly, this has nothing to do with the super poison venom. Alberta, a major energy producing area, funds energy research, and this is one of the projects. They want to unlock the secrets of how the hoop snake propels itself.
It appears there is a micro bio radiation nuclear reaction at the cellular level within the spine of the hoop snake. This splits atoms and changes mass to energy as predicted by Einstein’s equation of E=MC2. The snake continuously changes its center of gravity, thus being always lopsided, gravity causes it to roll forward.
In the future, we may be riding in cars with no engine, just hoop snake derived tires.
The problem now is that the snakes specially bred to enhance this trait produce too much bio radiation, and self ignite, leaving radioactive remains about. This also happens in the wild, which is the reason the hoop snake is rare.
Scientists will find the answer though, if their funding is continued. This is a better use of our tax money than funding plastic coating turds as art. The University of Calgary is helping us get to the future, even if it is a top secret project. This has the possibility of solving our dependence on fossil fools in an organic green way.
Postcsript: How do I know so much about it if this is so secret? I used to be a janitor for the institute, and was friendly with the staff, and they let a few things slip, and I sorted through the garbage and found corroborating proof. This is real.
Just look for yourself. Idyllic spot. No one suspects what they are doing there.
I repeat: this is real. Hoop snakes are real and may hold the secrets of the salvation of the planet.
