Knights vs. Snails??

I have no idea, either.  I would suspect, though, that there probably is some iconographic meaning attached to the snail and to the battle between knight and snail.  Here is perhaps an obvious meaning attached to snails in Christian understanding:[html][/html]If I were attempting to get to the bottom of it in a serious fashion, I would consult an expert in mollusks and look into climate patterns in the Middle Ages.  Almost all the examples of knight vs. snail images on that page come from the late thirteenth or first half of the fourteenth century.  I believe this was still during the medieval warm period, and I wonder if snails were therefore more problematic for agriculture during this time than they were a hundred or two hundred years later.  I have to imagine that some medieval texts discuss the attitude toward snails from a practical perspective, and this would guide us in our understanding of the cultural symbolism snails possessed.

Given modern sensibilities and attitudes they will not.  The dead are only sacrosanct so long as someone with a connection to the dead is around to prevent desecration of their remains.

What an odd post.  It is also a plagiarization from one of my old posts.  I am guessing we have one of those strange quote spammers we have been seeing recently.  He bears watching.

I don't see the point of their posts though.  They post out of context quotes from elsewhere on WCF and have nothing outwardly suspicious in their profile.  Most don't even have website links in their profile as you would expect from link farmers.I would guess idiots with nothing better to do.
