They were not drunk. Your statement is anthropomorphic. And to the folks that put salt on slugs I ask why? Why is it fun to see a creature die like that? If slugs need to be gotten rid of (say, removed from a garden), how about putting egg shells around the perimeter. Too irritating for the slugs to cross, but not lethal. And your Golden Retriever won't have to go thru convulsive seizures because it ingested slug bait (which tastes just GREAT to dogs). How about sharing this planet with the other creatures that live here? Instead of salting them and watching them dissolve (literally and figuratively). -- Scott Herzinger, Groupware Systems ...!{ucbvax,decvax,ihnss}!tektronix!reed!grpwre!scotth {allegra,purdue,cbosg}
