    Search for it on YouTube. Pretty much just taking the piss out of the situation where Ryan did the dirty on his missus

    Ok, this might seem like a random question, but there actually is a point to me asking, that I might reveal in the distant future... <laugh>

    Imagine an alternative world where people raise, selectively breed and race snails instead of racehorses. Also imagine their genetics are very simple (one gene per trait and simple dominance and recession works on genes).

    What types of genetics for racing would you expect to influence race ability? Perhaps a gene that determines speed. A gene that determines how much slime they can make (run out of slime and they slow down dramatically).

    A combination question, so that one snail might not be fastest on all race tracks, what variations could be made? Probably surface texture: a sand track probably requires more slime than a marble track to race on, thus slimy snails might be able to beat faster snails on Sandy tracks.

    Would it be unreasonable to put in hurdles and have snails jump? (Jumping ability another gene that can be bred for). Is there a better idea than hurdles for variation in track characteristics?


    Any ideas on gene and track variations?

    Despite some stiff competition, this gets my vote for the strangest post in recent memory. :)

    (Just feed them Red Bull).

    Red Bull has caffeine in it that is very toxic to lower lifeforms... Although that could be a trade off... Red Bull makes them perform better but shortens their life. That would make for interesting decisions.

    Good idea.

    Longevity Gene could be a gene too. How many races a snail can survive.

    Patently we'd race them on glass so we can have cameras underneath to see them in action.

    I would say there would have to be 3-d tracks so they go up walls and down tubes or whatever.

    Why make them jump when we can value their baility to go through complex loops and defy gravity.

    Good afternoon all .

    Question for you .

    I have recently started having regular contact with some people from Liverpool .They have taken on a new job that means we have regular contact with them .

    We recently had their senior manager down , and I asked one of the women what part of Liverpool she ( The Senior manager ) was from .

    The lady said she was from the Wirral , and made it clear that in her opinion that is not Liverpool .

    Another one of the team says she ( the team member I was chatting to ) is from the Wirral , but prefers to call it the Peninsula .

    I have never been to that part of the country in my life .

    What's the big deal , or is it simply local rivalry ?

    I am guessing the latter , but just curious .

    People who live on the Wirral consider themselves better than people who live in Liverpool. The majority of people who live on the Wirral commute to Liverpool to work so are happy to earn their corn there. The ironic thing is that some of worst drug ridden estates are on the Wirral, but they all like to give the impression they live in Heswall where the likes of Rafa live.

    The 3d aspect is a really good idea... Ability to to.climb better than ability to jump... More realistic.
    , thank you, I'll definitely use that. Glass would be good idea, but I think the different surface types could lead to snails that are suited to different race tracks.

    The luxurious GP of latchford with an all marble racetrack might produce a different winner than the GP of Brighton where they would race them on the sand.

    marble is good, very good one.

    We should be able to introduce moving bit son the track like say rather than sand have a sand paper type conveyor belt and have it move along and see which one of the little blighters can get past it.

    "Wools" basically means 'outsiders' I believe

    Are you trying to build a computer game of racing snails by any chance?
