I've always had vivid dreams since I was a kid of swimming through the air, propelling myself into an incredible perspective. (Although, recently I had to deal with power lines and fear of electrocution). Yay, snails!
A vague haze of delirium creeps up on me
all at once a tall mollusk I suddenly see
He's dressed in a silver sparkled gelatinous gown
And his golden wings flow
Nearly down to the ground.
"Today, we celebrate the first glorious anniversary of the Information Purification Directives. We have created, for the first time in all history, a garden of pure ideology, where each worker may bloom secure from the pests of contradictory and confusing truths. Our Unification of Thoughts is more powerful a weapon than any fleet or army on earth. We are one people, with one will, one resolve, one cause. Our enemies shall talk themselves to death, and we will bury them with their own confusion. We shall prevail!"
Great Science and a cool example of convergent evolution!
What with global warming going the way it is, if they run out of plankton and the sea warms they'll probably be migrating up here soon:

I hear it's supposed to be good for your complexion.
Here in the NW we prefer them for dessert.

But at my back I always hear
Time's wingèd sea snail hurrying near;
And yonder all before us lie
Desserts of vast invertebratity.

Ast-snail Projection!

Nearly down to the ground.
Oh, my.. I want it to be my tall dark handsome cuddly cuttlefish!
Ah, now that's the sort of thing I dream about.

"Do it to Julia!"
1984 references are always appropriate.
"But wait, Steve Jerbs said 1984 wouldn't be anything like 1984!" Wish we could call him on the telescreen and discuss this.
wut?

Indeed:
"Today, we celebrate the first glorious anniversary of the Information Purification Directives. We have created, for the first time in all history, a garden of pure ideology, where each worker may bloom secure from the pests of contradictory and confusing truths. Our Unification of Thoughts is more powerful a weapon than any fleet or army on earth. We are one people, with one will, one resolve, one cause.

Half of what we say is meaningless…
Actions speak louder.
