in all seriousness, i thought this an interesting article

Venomous snails aid medical science

By Louise Yeoman BBC producer
Dr Jon-Paul Bingham, of Clarkson University, has an unusual note on his file at the local hospital in New York State.
If he is admitted unconscious, they are to check to see whether he's been harpooned by a deadly snail.
Every week, he milks lethal marine molluscs called cone snails for their venom, using a condom, barbecue tongs and a fish. If anything goes wrong, though, it's no laughing matter.
Cone shells look like a seaside souvenir from the tropics. You find them in places like the Great Barrier Reef or Hawaii.
They're basically seashells, sometimes two to three inches long, often with striking patterns which make them collectable. ..........

.........That's where Jon-Paul Bingham's work has been important. By developing his way of milking the snails, Jon-Paul keeps the animals alive in his lab and learns more about them.
He doesn't need to dissect the "goose that lays the golden egg" to study its venom. He analyses their venoms and then synthesises the compounds he finds for further work.
His hope is to set up a library of venoms to help other researchers get access to this field. He sees potential for snail toxins to be used in everything from agriculture to anti-fouling paints against marine worms. .......................
