Not elder law: Lending new meaning to the term “snail mail”

Muriel, Austin and Cecil are snails for the electronic age.  The gastropods have been fitted with equipment to allow them to send e-mails on behalf of visitors to a website.  Instead of instantaneous communication, sent messages willtravel at 0.03mph (0.05km/h) and could take days, weeks or even monthsto arrive.  It is part of a “slow art” project called Real Snail Mail atBournemouth University in the UK which will be showcased in Los Angelesin August.
