The pages of medieval books are stalked by a ferocious monster: the fighting snail.
You're viewing a single thread.
The ones with the rabbits are pretty messed up as well!
Ahhh...this explains the rabbit in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
The snails also explain an odd event in Runescape while doing the Temple Trekking minigame. Now that I think it, Runescape also has a historically accurate fascination with Brassicas like Cabbages, which would correlate with a historically accurate aversion to snails.
That movie is shockingly historically accurate.
That's the kind of thing I doodle in my notepad when I'm bored during a call.
I'm concerned.
I'm aroused.
I'm concerned again.

Imagine getting beaten with a stick by a rabbit as his friend robs you, while your friend draws it for historical archive.
He's not robbing the guy, he's peeling the skin off his foot(!)
he's peeling the skin off his foot
To which he has no ownership of, so he is still robbing him, just not for material objects.
Oh that's much better.
Hmm, any connection to the "lucky rabbit's foot" thing, or is tgat a modern invention ?
Ooh, that's a good point!
Origins apparently go back to 600 BC:

“Did you get a good look at the suspects?”
“Not really. But fortunately my manuscript illustrator was there.”
So they fuck the rabbits and fight the snails?
