Poor snails :(

I was outside at work yesterday scrapping some stuff when I came across this snail. It was on the hot pavement, slowly crawling towards the shade, but it wouldn't catch up because the sun was moving too fast for it. I felt so bad for it. 🙁

I moved the snail under a tree. 🙂

Moved it under a tree so it could continue to eat your plants?

I was at work. And even if it was at home, I see no problem with it eating my plants. I mean, we eat the earths plants and animals, why can't the snail?

I do that with earthworms I find slowly drying out on the pavement. Just give them a kick onto the wet grass.

Probably about 13-14 years ago, I read an article in some magazine where the author was running laps on his local 400m track. I think he said it had rained recently so there were alot of earthworms out and about on the track. After turning some laps, he noticed that one of them wasn't heading for the grass in the center or outside, but was heading down the track, towards the finish line. And at a rate that was going to beat him. I remember him writing that he picked up his pace just so he would beat the worm but ended up losing. By the time he finished, the worm was halfway across the line. Very amusing article...

Sorry for the randomness.

That doesn't make any sense.
