@Alexlee @academicchatter @cstross 1, Google 0 -- when asked the same question, Kagi gets the joke and provides citations.

Image of Kagi’s response to “are there snakes at thesis defenses?”: No, there is no actual "snake fight" portion of a thesis defense. The "snake fight" is a humorous metaphor, not a real event that occurs during thesis defenses. [1][2] The "snake fight" is often referenced in a tongue-in-cheek manner to describe the stressful and high-pressure nature of a thesis defense, where the student must defend their work in front of a committee. However, there are no physical snakes or snake fights involved in a typical thesis defense. [3][4] The "snake fight" is simply a metaphorical way of describing the challenging and intense experience of a thesis defense, not a literal event that students must participate in.
