Things we don’t need

Posted on September 18, 2011 by alan

Giant, house eating snails.

That’s the Giant African Land Snail, to be precise. They can grow to be 10 inches long. They leave a slimy trail of excrement wherever they go. They harbor the microscopic rat-lung worm, which can transmit meningitis to humans. And they will literally eat your house.

What caliber for giant snail?

    MSJ seems to have a great idea…
    However, how do we improve on an already great idea? Salty-Claymores. M203 Salt Grenades, Mortarsalts, I think you get the picture. 😀

    I suspect a blowtorch would do the best job and the awesomest job!

    I suggest an arrow to skewer Escargantua, then a quick saute with white wine and garlic.

    Ewwww….
    A BIG caliber!!!
    “A more recent introduction several years ago was traced to small religious sects in Miami, where the snails are believed to harbor healing properties.

    “A young woman had come in with some stomach ailments, and her mother said she had been fed the juices of a live snail as a healing rite,” Gaskalla says.

    “That’s not in my medicine chest,” he adds.”
