Snail Mail explained

By using SIT (Snail Imprint Technology), an e-mail can be etched into the shell of a snail. The trained homing snail then sets off a journey of thousands of miles to its recipient, who uses an SIR (Snail Imprint Reader) to decode the secret e-mail.

Caveats:
  • Conflict between distance and average snail life span.
  • Recipients may have to decode thousands of snails before the correct snail is found.
  • Good homing snail programs have not been developed.
  • No RFC available at this time, specifying the exact coding.


Beyond the caveats, we are excited to present this idea to the world community!
