Snails Edge Out ADSL 205
Anonymous writes "Dear Sirs,
Following our experiment last year, and after long preparations, we have successfully proved that certain gastropods called African giant snails can be faster then ADSL and ... pigeons. The system we have used, called SNAP (SNAil-based data transfer Protocol), uses biological carriers (snails), and, for the first time, taking advantages of the unique merits of the wheel for data transfer. More details can be found here."

So if I put an even {ridiculouslyhugeammount} of {largerstoragedevice} in/on {strongeranimal or largertransportationdevice} the bandwidth is {evenlargernumber}. The latency though I get from {strongeranimal or largertransportationdevice} still sucks.
What we need is {fasteranimal or fastertransportationdevice} which also is {strongeranimal or largertransportationdevice}. That would be neat.
ps. What is it with you moderators to mod up the 10 comments with identical content!?

Probably still several orders of magnitude faster than dial-up.
