I'm NOT an animal hater
« on: January 21, 2006, 07:32:43 am »
Funniest thing I've read in a while. :P

From the most commonly heald myths website:

"Animals can predict natural disasters"


There is no evidence that animals possess a mysterious sixth-sense allowing them to predict natural disasters. Their keen senses of smell, hearing, and sharp instincts alone are enough to send them scattering for the hillsides during a hurricane or tsunami. And even so, animals often die during natural disasters, so if they do have some sort of sixth sense, it's not worth much.[Emphasis added]
Bringing to life a child's imagination.

Perhaps only the animals that do not have this sixth sense die in natural disasters.

Cows and chickens must be freaked out 24/7.

i don't think it's that mythical.  a lot of animals can sense vibrations in the ground that may signal larger quakes.  but animals can't see ghosts.  check here:  http://skepdic.com/

You’re always in control of your behavior. Sometimes you just control yourself
in ways that you later wish you hadn’t
