"Where Are All the Dead Animals?" Sri Lankans Ask

Speaking of disasters, it has been noticed that animals presage natural disasters like earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, and so forth with super-sensitive skill. Humans are not so lucky. If you are watching a disaster movie, say, about tsunamis, and your dog becomes uncomfortable, grab your emergency kit (you have one, don't you?) and head for the hills. Don't click the next link, if you hate spoilers. By the way, the best "tsumami movie" ever is the one with Tia Leoni, Deep Impact, which has (bonus) not only an asteroid out of control, but also a "tidal wave" a.k.a. a tsunami. Kind of a two-for-one disaster movie. Roger Ebert's review (at link) contains not only spoilers, he gives it 2.5 out of a possible score of 5, rating it on a par with another favorite, Dante's Peak,with Pierce Brosnan, about a volcano eruption.It's only funny when it's pretend.
