Snail Fucking

Technically, they were called "Venus Darts" and they didn't symbolise love so much as "withering pain and then possible death", but close enough, right?

Unfortunately for this comparison, snail darts are covered with hormones that help improve fertilization rates, so more the Eros/Cupid style stabbings.

I've also watched slugs mate, and it's really quite fascinating, yet disturbing.

No, my yard.

Oregon is full of slugs.

Apparently Cain's threats scared them off. Now, to the classroom!

Snails are hermaphrodites. They have their penises located in their heads which they use to jab into each other like hypodermic needles in a really long, elaborate mating ritual called "penis fencing".

The loser is the one who gets stabbed first and suffers the deleterious effects of traumatic insemination.

Yeah, I think we covered that, but thanks.

It was funnier the first time around, too.

That is pretty cool adorable interesting though. I never knew that (the love dart thing). It would be mildly funnier if they were launching them through the air, rather than from contact

How old are the kids in the class?  My friend's girlfriend is a vet, and when she went to a first year class to talk to them about animals, she got asked seven times "do you look after giraffes?" and another five times the child forgot the question, then burst into tears.

Just preparing you for the worst.

It's a first grade gifted class, and the teacher's been plugging the "we're gonna have SNAILS in class!" thing for over a week now, so I think they'll be able to stay on topic as much as I care to.

Oh, and if you wanted some horror with your  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_darts

(yes, these guys are a species that uses love darts)

Cupid is based on snails fucking?

Salt them.

THANK YOU.

In my opinion, you put up with that shit for far too long enough already. Slugs and cats are the positively lowest forms of life on earth.

Slugs are fine.  Cats are fucking evil.

But the lowest form of life on Earth is the Mouthbreathing American Po'bucker.
