Turtle Survives Fire - Developes "Satan Image" On Its Shell
Edited on Mon Mar-21-05 07:46 AM by matcom
Must be one of those "Homosexual" Box Turtles :eyes:

<snip>

MICHIGANTOWN, Ind. -- Could it be... Satan?

An Indiana pet shop owner said a turtle that was the only animal to survive an October fire has developed an image of Satan's face on its shell.

Bryan Dora said it looks as if the devil wants us to know that he was there.

Dora said he can see a goatee and a pair of pointy horns on the shell of the palm-sized red-eared slider turtle named Lucky. He said Lucky is healthy and its behavior hasn't changed.

Investigators could not determine the cause of the fire, which destroyed the A-Dora-ble Pet Shop and several other businesses in Frankfort, about 40 miles northwest of Indianapolis.

Dora has produced a DVD of the turtle's story that he plans to auction on the Internet. He will also offer the winning bidder the chance to buy Lucky offline.

Wonder if they'll change his name from Lucky to Lucifer?

8. If this is representative of the American people . . .
. . . and not some wanking crackpot colluding with a lazy media whore, then we're doomed.

13. Remember Senor Wences? I think that was his name
The "Head in the Box" puppet? Always said "S'awrite"

That's who it looks like.

Am I showing my age again?

10. Looks like an ant
Something tells me that if the Prince of Darkness wanted to make an appearance, he could get better booking than a turtle shell.

I shat a perfect replica of Rumsferatu Saturday morning, but you don't see ME parading it around the wires, do ya?

I think the turtle's telling us to go out and by vintage Stones albums...


I remember reading something about the ancient Chinese using turtle shells that had been heatred in a fire for divination?
