Snails!
Slowly settle in this week with Paul and Donna for a weird and fantastic, but way relaxed, examination of the weird lives of snails!
But first, the news!

“What? I’m a plant. Doo dee doo. Just being a plant, pay no attention.”
We are going to talk about how to make baby snails and this may not be a topic for the little ones. Use caution while listening with little kids please!

Dark and weird and crazy. You have been warned.

Whee!
There is a battle pet in World of Warcraft which is a tribute to Turbo, and he is called Zoom. He is fun to acquire. Here’s an instruction video from Donna’s favorite Pet Battler, Hazelnutty Games that will help you get him.
Good luck, WoW buddies!
