One more quick thing. [livejournal.com profile] minrho's link on the tsunami ghosts was pretty creepy.

Thisis also creepy, in a different way.

"The animals seem to have had advance warning of the impending tragedy -- not from technical warning stations, but from their own senses. Elephants screamed, sometimes broke their constraints, and ran for higher ground. Flamingos abandoned their low-lying breeding areas. In a southern Sri Lankan town, one man recalls bats flying away just before the tsunami struck, while another wondered why his own two dogs refused to go for their daily run on the beach. At the Yala National Park in Sri Lanka, hundreds of elephants, leopards, tigers, wild boar, deer, water buffalo, monkeys and smaller mammals and even reptiles escaped safely."


Mmm. Not surprised.

Aboriginal tribes in the area survived, too. Keep in mind that the area does not get very many tsunami. Apparently, it's civilization that gets you killed.
