SMTP

I found an interesting article today about a very modern and interesting way of transferring information from one point to the other (known today as Internet).

the system is constructed of a back end - a carriage, Ben-Hur movie style, which is made of a yoke made of light Balsa, and outfitted with two huge wheels - 2 DVD wheels, 4.7 Giga each. The front end, to which the carriage is harnessed consist of a Giant snail (Achatina fulica), known also as Giant African Snail (Africans are known as the world fastest runners ). These giant snail are of the GastroPod family (G-pod. We will reserve this name for transfer of music, and the name: G-mail for transfer of emails by snails SMTP –snail mobile transfer protocol )

Packets transport: Data is transported in 2 packets in parallel, 4.7 Giga each packet.

It’s amazing what a bit of creativity, a lot of geek and free time can make you invent. I recommend reading the whole original blog entry for more funny info on this system and a make-it-yourself carriage guide (Snail not included).
