An elderly man armed with an ice-scraper in western Sweden has taken extreme measures after Spanish "killer" slugs took over his café. 76-year-old Sven Lagergren has had enough of the "killer slugs" (mördersniglar) that have taken over the gardens of his café, Gula Huset, in Brålanda, north of Gothenburg. “They’ve taken over, it's absolute madness! I’ve killed almost 28,000 this summer,” he told The Local. Using a long handled ice-scraper with a 10 centimetre wide blade, the 76-year-old firmly slices the slugs in half with one quick jab. “I don’t miss,” he said, adding that the slugs die immediately. The Spanish slug, or Arion lusitanicus as it is formally known, is foreign to traditional Swedish fauna but has been ravaging gardens across the country since first being seen in 1975.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
