Title: The French eat snails don't they??....
Post by: twoiron on April 13, 2008, 02:44:30 PM
A Chinese man says he's had the same pet snail for 11 years - and takes it for walks. Yang Jinsen, a migrant worker, found it by a roadside when he was 14. Last year, he married and moved to Dongwan to work: "I got permission from my wife to bring the snail with me," he said.

I hate snails.  They're everywhere around here when it rains.  It's hard to avoid stepping on them.

Some mollusks (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geoduck) are known to live quite a long time.

It has a life expectancy of about 146 years, with the oldest recorded at over 160 years. This makes the Geoduck one of the longest-living organisms in the Animal Kingdom.

Yes, the Chinese eat geoduck too.
