Snails are called snails becuase, in 1912 a person named S. Ingerney found one. He recalled that it looked like a giant nail. He named the species nail. After a while, he got a black lung disese and died. A person interested in the species "nail" looked in Dr. Ingerney's diary, it said that he wished for the species to be called a more interesting name. So, the person changed the name to snails.
