Can Snails Hear?

[yeo]

Even if the snail could hear, would you think it could understand English?

Hmm are you suggesting my Snail wasn't English?

Interesting

I bet it was Polish,coming over here eating our Herbs! :x

[leefer]

Very closely related to a lot of humans then!

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.

stand on it and then apologies for standing on it

Snails can't hear though Dave, so it won't hear the apology, although maybe you could offer a written apology as they can see. 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.

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...

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.

dual standards there

Can Snails read though?

[BANGKOK RED]

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.

Can Snails read though?

Yes, and in many languages. And as I understand it some are even able to read brail (Sp?)

I wonder if snails can double post.  :?

Did you know that the common garden snail in not native to this country it was introduced to Britain by the romans!

Also rabbits are not native they were introduced by the Normans as a delciacy!!!!!!!!

Don't know, the internet hasn't been going long enough.

i find the image of a man shouting at a snail for eating his herbs very amusing.
