WHY THIS VIDEO CARD DIDN'T WORK

This is from a post on the Paranormal Buffalo email group, courtesy - as always - of Rick. The blurb goes:

A shaken Richard Boyle explains that he and his colleagues down at Sneakers Computers in Courtenay, British Columbia, "built this system, so it hadn't come from the manufacturer like this". He adds: "The frog was significantly bigger than any of the openings in the case, so we don't know how it got in."

I post it not just because it is a peculiar picture but because something like that happened to me once. When my family left Hong Kong in 1971, my mother bought a Japanese rice cooker with her. It worked perfectly when she packed it, but when it arrived in Woolsery it was kaput. My father investigated and found a small gecko, very dead and dessicated inside the plug. Weird huh?

Does anyone have any explanations for how either herp met its end?
