    Interesting you should ask that -- in 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea,
    the main protagonist undergoes an epiphany when he finds a shell that
    *goes the wrong way* (counterclockwise) -- it foreshadows the doom of
    the enigmatic Captain Nemo, etc. etc. as it is "an abomination of
    Nature" or whatever (my quotes, not Jules'). 

    Anyway, as far as I know, shells only grow clockwise -- but I'm not a
    malacologist. I do hope someone gets a chuckle out of remembering the
    ol' Jules Verne, though.
