So an impending earthquake must "sound" like the equivalent of someone slowly turning the volume up on a staticky radio to an ear-shattering cacaphony. Not to mention, it probably gives them one whopper of a case of bellyache... Heck, if I felt like that I'd smash into a wall to get away from the discomfort, myself! ;-) --TwoDragons Snakes don't have external ears, they actually use their bellies to pick up vibrations on the ground.
