The Conus regius' venom is bad news for its prey, and it's been proven harmful to humans as well. For instance, a 2009 clinical case describes a diver who had trouble moving his arm for 12 hours after an attack. However, scientists from the Universit...

If snails and slugs don’t bother you, then you might find these earbuds pretty neat. But if you get easily spooked by bugs and cringe at the thought of gastropods like snails and slugs, then you might want to steer clear of these. The Snail and Slug earbuds could be your worst fears realized: snails and slugs crawling up your neck and into your ears, and there’s nothing you can do about it…
Far from being a nightmare, these earbuds actually exist and they will no doubt elicit a second look from most people who see you using it.
The earbuds were created by artist Klara Pernicova with the goal of unsettling people with her work. Looks like she managed to do just that.
The Snail and Slug earbuds are available online for $56.

These slug and snail earbuds are pretty clever, but also pretty gross. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want any slugs or snails sticking their heads in my ear and whispering sweet nothings when music isn’t playing. And shouldn’t the cords be slimy snail trails? I guess they couldn’t get that detail.
These clever and creative earbuds were created by artist Klára Pernicová. If you like the idea of slugs crawling into your ear, they are sadly not for sale. You could always make some for yourself, but they probably won’t be this detailed and weird. If you do, keep them in a salt-free environment.

Call it a contradiction, but the ‘Snail Motorcycle’ promises to be a fast bike to ride. Designed as a foldable electric motorcycle, once it folds up, the bike is as small as a snail! Easy to carry and speedy to use, the concept looks very outlandish, which is why it interests us. You can open the bike by rotating and scaling the body. The rear wheels serve as the charging box and the powerhouse for functioning.

Avengers Assemble! I said Avengers Assemble! Oh, I see you are working on it. Don’t hurry on my account. The world is only doomed. Looking at my watch. Nevermind, I’ll just call the X-Men. These Avengers snail amigurumis are adorable. They are just painfully slow.
Hulk smash? No, Hulk slime! You have all of the Avengers here in soft snail form and looking to cute to do battle with anyone. They are the work of Etsy seller Fallen Designs and will cost you $17-$20(USD) each.
They would look pretty amazing on your desk with your other toys. I would love to see this movie, although the running time would be about two minutes and it would end with the villain stomping these heroes into goo – or worse yet, pouring salt on them.
