O.K. you sluggies! Yes I'm double dipping from the mint thread = shocking = gasp!!!! But if you look WAY up at the top I've been here before LOL! I can't help it if we were gathered at a garden party and there were two groups I would be going back and forth. I admit being from Washington state where slug festivals are held and slug paraphernalia fills every tourist store I have seen my share of slugs so I haven't spent to much time here, but I thought you may enjoy the following:

Info from a WA state slug festival:
"Here's some slug trivia for you. Slugs have been around since the dinosaurs. The wet Olympic coast is home to 23 species of slugs. They have two tentacles, one for seeing and the other for feeling. Because their tentacles movie independently, they can see in two directions at once. Slugs have 27,000 teeth and eat their weight everyday. It would take more than 9 hours for a slug to finish a 100-yard dash.
That's why the organizers of the annual Slug Festival held every July no longer hold slug races. "It just wasn't much fun," Susan Hulbert of the Northwest Trek Wildlife Park says."
