Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. We are sorry to interrupt your program
once again, but we are following
a startling slow-speed chase, of what appears to be
a common slug, on the run. That's right, Chuck, the felonious slug has led police
on a treacherous pursuit, hitting the gastropod's top speed
of .0028 meters per second. As you know, driving like an idiot
is a privilege in the human world. Oh yes, Gary. Humans are awful. Wait a minute,
it looks like he just passed a pebble! - He is not slowing down!
- But he's not speeding up, either. Is it true, Gary,
that slugs secrete slime in order to slide
across surfaces more easily? Yes, that's correct. It's scientifically known as
a "snail trail." Okay, and now let's go live
to our resident slug expert to see... what he thinks. And, I think, uhhhhhhhhh

We are sorry to interrupt your program
once again,
00:00:06.172 --> 00:00:09.968
but we are following
a startling slow-speed chase,
00:00:10.051 --> 00:00:13.221
of what appears to be
a common slug, on the run.

Oh yes, Gary. Humans are awful.
00:00:32.449 --> 00:00:35.066

in order to slide
across surfaces more easily?
00:00:45.545 --> 00:00:46.629
Yes, that's correct.
00:00:46.713 --> 00:00:49.716
It's scientifically known as
