serendipitous snail


So this is strange: very strange.  I come out of the building in which I've just given a lecture on "Snails, Slugs, and Scale;" I start to cross the courtyard, look up to a window opposite, and what do I see?  A large - much larger than life - white snail.  Unless someone deliberately put it there, hoping that I'd glance up - and that's not exactly likely - this is one of the world's weirder improbabilities.  Oh, and if you were at the talk itself - thank you so much, and for your questions, and keep sending along gastropod examples ...
