//snails... race about//
Umm...? |
|
| |
Their slime would distort the mirror image even if the nutritious [sp.] film did not. Maybe they should have squeegies dragging after them like little reverse snow ploughs to clean up the snail goo. |
|
| |
I think you should genetically engineer snails to produce slime that works like those windshield defogger chemicals |
|
| |
Oh, my! Have a battery-powered electronic snail instead just to clear out the slime and nutritious film issue... |
|

Baked! With a little garlic butter. [link] |
|
| |
...but where would they sleep? |
|
| |
Maybe something to eat the slime as well? The bathroom window could have a layer of algae on it as food for the window snails. |
|
| |
Extending [nineteenthly]'s line of thought, perhaps we can engineer dust-eating snails to keep our houses clean? Or create perhaps an entire ecology for our own convenience? It'd be like living in a little jungle! That'd be splendid! |
|
| |
We had some apple snails that got around the aquarium at an unusal pace. |
|
| |
All the same, I'm guessing you'll need a very large snail, or a very small mirror to make this work successfully... |
|
| |
and if my apple snail is any indication, you'll want some netting underneath so they don't jump off and die. |
|
| |
Once the mirror was thoroughly slimed, I
bet it would be steamproof. |
|
| |
A better solution from MaxCo. |

Tired of slimy bathroom mirrors? Slimy
bathroom mirror woes begone!! |
|
| |
Our patented MaxiMagnetSnails have
powerful neodumium magnets
permanently bonded to their shells.
Simply seal 3 or 4 MaxiMagnetSnails in
the recess behind your mirror, along
with 100-200 grams of
MaxiMagnetSnailFood. Next, place 3 or
4 of our decorative magnetic cleaning
pads on the face of the mirror. |
|
| |
Viola! The cleaning pads will glide
magically and majestically across the
face of your mirror, following the
meanderings of the snails behind
(please note lack of apostrophe). |
|
| |
//(please note lack of apostrophe)// |
|
| |
lack'o'grammar too, methinks. How can you follow something that's behind you ? |
|
| |
...the snails.... behind....the mirror. |
|
| |
Instead of plain sailing, could this variation
on the idea be described as snail planing? |
|
| |
I don't know, but I can see sanity paling. |
|
| |
To wipe our mirrors clean, we'll just have to s/nail (sink a nail) to the wall and install a car wiper, wiping off your creepy snails too. |
