Hi all,

I found this amazing article about medieval paintings of knights fighting snails in the margins of gothic manuscripts. No one knows what that means! Just fascinating. I thought this would interest you.

Fascinating, I love the last one of the Knight praying to the snail !

Note to self:

Don't show this to Zorst n the rest of the slimers as they will get ideas about snail worship and start a new cult and cost me a fortune in sweet potatoes, carrots and cuttlefish bones. UMMM ! Haven't they already done that !

Cleaver snails got there before the humans and who said snails weren't bright?
