Going by the title I was expecting something like RFC 1149[1]: "A Standard for the Transmission of IP Datagrams on Avian Carriers".

[1]: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1149


Like actual snails? I was expecting IP over printed envelopes sent through postal delivery (aka snail mail).


If you are interested in arts and culture, I couldn't recommend Cabinet higher. For example, this article on photography's possible influence on (and definite interaction with) the Impressionists: http://www.cabinetmagazine.org/issues/54/worth.php.
