[net.misc] slugs and beer

tp@wucs.UUCP (tom thumbs) (08/14/85)

    I have just completed a little experiment and now I think I need the
help of net.bizarre to properly interpret the results.

    We have all now heard that if you place a saucer of beer out on 
your porch at night in a slug-infested area, you'll find heaps of
dead drowned slugs in it in the morning.

    This gave me an idea. I placed a tub of beer on the back of a 
fraternity house porch and, sure enough, when morning came, the entire
frat had drowned in the beer.
    This inspired part 2 of the experiment in which I shook salt on
top of frat boys. There was no discernable effect.
    Now, in terms of behavior and cleanliness, there seems little
difference between slugs and frat people.

    The questions:

    1. are frat boys a species of slug which is salt-resistant?

    2. was there an error in my methods?

    3. are slugs just a degenerate (or perhaps more advanced) form
       of fraternity brother?
