Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.

And how hungry was he?

People in many primitive societies still eat grubs and such. If you're hungry enough to eat that you're probably hungry enough to eat just about anything, including snails. :roll:
