A Grove Snail balancing at the end of a thin twig. What do you think the little fellow did next?

1. Turned around
2. Jumped two feet down
3. Called 911

The correct answer will be revealed tomorrow :)

Update: OK, time to reveal the fate of the little snail. Actually I'm not sure whether he fell or he deliberately jumped, because I had just started to watch another snail near by, when I suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, saw him dropping down and landing in some old leaves beneath. Then, after a few seconds, he came out of his shell and began to move around as if nothing special had happened at all. My guess is that he jumped, because I don't think it would have been possible for him to turn around, and he didn't even attempt to do that. Anyway, it was a happy ending for our little friend :)

Great shot - and cleverly titled, as well. I have no idea what a snail would do in this situation. I don't think I'd have the patience to sit and watch him decide and then make his slow way back (or to the phone.) On the other hand (which he has none of, so we'll just have to imagine that) he may have thought, "Good-bye cruel world" and been pleasantly surprised when he landed on a soft tuft of grass two feet down. ;)

You call me a stranger
You say I'm a danger
But all these thoughts are leaving you tonight
I'm broke and abandoned
You are an angel
Making all my dreams come true tonight

another good angle. i think he was comtemplating jumping, called 911 asking to be talked down and in the end, turned around and made an appt. at a psychiatrist.

That's what your mom said, before I shaved her back! ATHF

Is there some tread left on those tires, or is it just like throwing a hot dog down the hallway? Family Guy
