Letter: Letters : Sexy snails

Published 8 November 1997

From Janet Chamier

Bradfield, Berkshire

I was very sorry to read that members of the team investigating Noah’s flood
(4 October, p 24)
were so traumatised by their experiences on the Black Sea that
they began to find molluscs sexually attractive (“Back on dry land the team
began dating these snails.”). Was there no counselling available?
