Slugs are snails -- if you squished them you just seeded the entire

I used to believe that. I'm not so sure anymore. Sure, if the squashed
slug or snail contained eggs that were mature, a very few might survive
the squishing and hatch out. Immature eggs aren't going to grow up and
hatch just being there on the floor.
