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? -- "Maturity is an excuse for not keeping the promises you once made to yourself." ...tp... tom patterson {ihnp4, seismo}!wucs!wumvx!tp
