Jeffries: My thoughts exactly! However if properly trained, dogs can be taught to respond to emergency situations.
Charlie: That story that the animals knew the tsunami was coming is something of an urban legend. There were in fact many animals killed by the Tsunami.
Anyways I do think this study isn't exactly the nail in the coffin, but that doesn't mean we should just dismiss it completely. What would be interesting would be to look at what dogs have done in real life situations not just the ones that make the news.
I like howstuffworks, but I don't understand their reasoning here. They claim if everyone flushed their toilets the pipes couldn't handle it because there would be too much water moving through.
But as I understand water flow, wouldn't this just mean that the water would flow faster through the pipes? I remember learning that no matter the size of a channel the same amount of water will flow through it in the same period except the smaller channels will have faster moving water.
It's really sad how one person can so totally bring a prosperous country to near complete ruin. Farming used to be one of Zimbabwe's big exports and now they can't even feed their own people!
And it's not like the guy turned the land over to the people once he took it from the mostly white Zimbabweans. Instead he just handed it out to his cronies who had no clue about farming, nor had the equipment.
There are certain people the world would be better without...

lol @ nimeye!
I wonder how many people actually get that reference!

At most it's his ear or a well placed branch. That or a forgery. If you ever see wild horses they are never as finely groomed as that horse was.
