Agate Slugs

[I want to believe]

So, I was browsing the wiki aimlessly, and found the page for the agate snail. Then, I thought, hey, I think I once say an agate slug. Wasn't that funny, he was like an agate snail except without a shell. I think I shall go and check out his page, and see if he has lower stats! But no, the wiki has no page on it. I think, oh well, it isn't exactly always up to date. So I go to the knowledge bots, and they too know not of this agate slug. I think, ah well, i'll check the tiles folders and see if there is an agate slug tile, and I look, and there appears to be one, next to the agate snail, and the sprite for an agate snail within its shell. I want to believe in agate slugs, but I do not know the truth! Tell me goer's of the crazy yiuf corner, are agate slugs merely myth, or are the knowledge bots failing thou?

There's giant slugs, and the tile for giant slugs is just the agate snail without the shell.

Slugs are not just snails without shells!

[Siegurt]

That's anti-slug-ism, how would snails feel if we called them "Slugs with shells" Huh? Some people have no respect for slug racial distinctiveness.

differently-shelled snails

[nicolae]

If you think about it, all organisms are just snails with or without various features. People are just big bipedal snails with skeletons, body hair, and no shells.

Bah, snails are superior to the slugs! Down with slug rights! Back to the algae mines with them, I say!

Great, I thought we're not in the 60s anymore, or are we?

snailed it

I thought it was time to come out of my shell.

[Grimm]

You're not wrong, slugger.

[Confidence Interval]

Til now I never knew anything about snail anatomy beyond the obvious external bits. It seems their internal bits are in places I wouldn't have guessed at.

pratamawirya, I never imagined that you looked so much like PacMan.

what is up with that anus

[Confidence Interval]

I know, right?

[danr]

Based on that link - are snails hermaphroditic? Or are they just showing us the anatomy of both sexes on a single diagram?

[Confidence Interval]

Hmm, how could we find out?

[I want to believe]

I am honored to have my thread derailed by the derailing masters.

[Confidence Interval]

We're still talking about snails!

[Grimm]

Yeah, we haven't derailed diddly squat here.

Hmm, how could we find out?

He said BASED ON THAT LINK, i.e. not using your false google.

[Confidence Interval]

Thou shalt have no other googles before me. (Needs its own colouring page, if anyone is feeling creative.)

[Grimm]

I don't think they read Commandment #2 very carefully.
