Look at those cars go

Snails cause six-car pile-up

HUNDREDS of slippery snails caused a six-car pile-up as they swarmed across a busy German highway.

Rescue crews had to close the road for hours while crushed and surviving snailed were scraped off the tarmac.

Six cars were damaged as they slid across the B14 A-Road near Stuttgart.

"Cars were crushing the snails and the slime was making the road so slippery that people started skidding all over the place," one driver said.

"Motorists had to stop and try to pick their way through the snails. It was like something from a horror film."


Two things:
1) Do snails really ... swarm?
2) What sort of lame arse horror movies do these people watch?
