Middletown, Connecticut - (Snake-in-the-Grass): A Wesleyan University secret society today blamed Sandra Bullock for the 1997 destruction of the Mystical Seven cult frat's meeting house called The Snake Pit.
The Skull And Serpent spokesman said their name change to the Skull And Cobra was inspired by an anagram of their iconic heroine Sandra Bullock's name.
This triggered a flame war with Skull And Serpent traditionalists, subsequently top suspects in an arson attempt on their own campus meeting house, called The Tomb.
The Mystical Seven's Snake Pit building was razed to the ground in 2007 amid accusations blaming a feud with Skull And Serpent alumni.
These include Jonathan S Bush, upright pillar of society and first cousin of ex-US President George W Bush, and Edward Kennedy Junior, son of the famous Massachusetts senator
A Skull And Cobra society spokesman said today many of their members had had Bullock's image tattooed all over their bodies in an act of tribute similar to ancient Mesopotamians' snake goddess worship body daubings.
Etiolation of the Hollywood movie star may have been inspired by her 1992 movie Love Potion No 9.
This subsequently provoked a lot of campus fun poking of the University's Divine Nine fraternity who became embroiled in various arson attempt conspiracy theories.
Cryptologists at Wesleyan's linguistics department rubbished the entire saga as preposterous.
Their spokesperson said today that a better anagram of Sandra Bullock's name would be 'Irritate! Buggered!'
Brigitte Daguerre is 69.
