#7 No worries about a northward migration, Georgia, Alabama. They're not at all fond of doublewides. Lots of Stucco on the Red Neck Riviera however. Not certain how fast they'll reach it, pace..... etc.

#9 We could have snail races. Paint letters on their shells and when the S snail pulls ahead yell, "Look at that S car go!"

#14 IIRC GUAM HISTOIRE' = the Japanese military during WW2 tried to introduce African snails to the island as an alternate food source for its forces here in case of US invasion or prolonged siege.

DIDN'T TASTE GOOD either to Japanese soldiers or to Locals.

Perhaps the Escargot-loving French will have better luck.
