Title: Can Snails Hear? Post by: lebowski on Wednesday, July 2, 2008, 21:00:40 On the subject of herbs, it is a very good time to be an arable farmer.
If there wasn't so much hard work involved I would probably be one myself. Title: Can Snails Hear?

Title: Can Snails Hear? Post by: RobertT on Wednesday, July 2, 2008, 21:34:17 Even if the snail could hear, would you think it could understand English?
Title: Can Snails Hear? Post by: flammableBen on Wednesday, July 2, 2008, 21:36:44 Quote from: "Snail Website" Snails usually travel in irregular paths, often traveling in a circle. Snails reply mainly on their sense of touch and smell when finding food because they have very poor eyesight. Snails cannot hear. However if they could, their brains could understand any language. Snails can retract one or both of their tentacles at a time. Because of the suction created by their slime, a snail can crawl upside down. Snails are nocturnal animals which means they are more active at night. Title: Can Snails Hear?

Interesting I bet it was Polish,coming over here eating our Herbs! :x Title: Can Snails Hear? Post by: leefer on Wednesday, July 2, 2008, 21:39:13 Very closely related to a lot of humans then!
Title: Can Snails Hear? Post by: RobertT on Wednesday, July 2, 2008, 21:48:36 Actually, for all we know, the shouting may have simply pushed the snail into panic mode, he/she froze and pissed himself all over your herbs. Next time I'd suggest a quiet word in his shell like.

Or maybe a nice gift, if somebody stood on me then offered a pint of Guinness as an apology then I think I'd accept. Title: Can Snails Hear? Post by: Leggett on Thursday, July 3, 2008, 08:51:05 would it have to be a scaled gift tho, as snails are quite small and i'm sure a full-sized pint of guiness wouldnt be too healthy for them...
it'd be like a giant standing on you and offering you a glass of guiness the size of the murray john tower... Title: Can Snails Hear? Post by: BANGKOK RED on Thursday, July 3, 2008, 09:01:39 I would also like a giant offering me a John Murray tower sized guinness. I hope that he doesn't stand on me too hard though.
But yeah I think that maybe it should be scaled down for the snail, as it may fall in and drown in the black stuff. Title: Can Snails Hear? Post by: Leggett on Thursday, July 3, 2008, 09:06:44 dual standards there :P

Can Snails read though? Title: Can Snails Hear? Post by: BANGKOK RED on Thursday, July 3, 2008, 09:19:11 I have the snails best interested at heart though, if I was too fall into a giant guinness then I could tread water until help arrived.
But a snail cant tread water as it has no legs, and even if it could swim how could it call for help? Poor snails. Title: Can Snails Hear?

Can Snails read though? Yes, and in many languages. And as I understand it some are even able to read brail (Sp?) Title: Can Snails Hear? Post by: BANGKOK RED on Thursday, July 3, 2008, 09:24:24 I wonder if snails can double post. :?
