"Waiter....there are snails on her plate....You would think that in a fancy restaurant at these prices you could keep the snails off the food! There are so many snails there you can't even see the food! Now take those away and bring us those melted cheese sandwich appetizers you talked me out of!"

How in the hell do you measure the memory of a snail and more importantly why would you need to?

This calls for new government social programs for snails suffering addiction due to government research programs.
Of course, this will be paid for by higher taxes on "the wealthy". The "wealthy" are defined as anyone whose income is higher than a snail's.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Any guesses on who may be funding this study? We’ll Print More.
To: JoeProBono
From the Way-Back machine. That is deep.
To: JoeProBono
They’re already slimy and hideous, and they don’t have any teeth to lose, so I guess there’s no downside.

They may be smarter but what with all the tweaking is it really a useful smart?

That made me laugh - I’m going to have to remember that one!

After reading the prior replies to this thread it is obvious that stimulus money needs to be spent for further study.
