Sometimes shown in the figure 8 on it's side, (lazy 8,) or lemniscate, the mathematical figure for infinity. A Snake eating it's own tail is an ancient Alchemical symbol called Ouroboros & is used to symbolise of infinity.

Ah so he was gifting us with esoteric knowledge about the meaning of life, not a Darwin contestant at all!! Haha

Seriously, that is pretty awesome. I love ancient symbols and their meanings. Nice illustrations too :)
