MICHIGANTOWN, Indiana (AP) -- An Indiana pet store owner says he sees the image of Satan on the shell of a turtle that was the only survivor of a store fire in October.

The palm-sized red-eared slider turtle, named Lucky, was the only animal to survive the fire at Dora's A-Dora-ble Pet Shop in nearby Frankfort, about 40 miles northwest of Indianapolis.

Owner Bryan Dora now says he sees Satan's face on the critter's shell. He can spot lips, eyes, a goatee, shoulders and a pair of pointy horns on Lucky's back.

"The marking on the shell was like the devil wanted us to know he was down there," Bryan Dora said. "To me, it's too coincidental that the only thing to come out unscathed would have this image on it."

8. "It's a Hoosier Thang...."

You really wouldn't understand,
Unless you were a Hoosier,
in Whitcomb Riley land.
In New York, it's 10:30,
In Chicago, half-past Nine.
But here in Indiana,
it's 1959...

Only in Indiana....

10. Reminds me of

a show I watched the other day by some physicist who was talking about the way we structure any stimulus in the search of a structure. Talking about the patterns found in the universe. His example was to play Stairway to Heaven and then in reverse asking if anybody had heard the word "Satan". One hand went up. The he played it again with lyrics that were supposed to be what was actually said in reverse. It was striking because you could actually hear clearly every single fucking word that was not really there! And it made sense too. So if the human brain is able to extract 10 complete sentences from nothing, it certainly can extract an image from nothing. Just like watching the clouds.

11. Which ignorant deity is weaker. Jesus or Satan.

Jesus uses his power to place his image on corn chips and projects his mommies image on half eaten grilled cheese sandwiches, the devil burns down a pet store and places his image on a tortoise shell.

Why believe in either of these losers. HELLO!!!!!, people are dying of starvation, war, disease, poverty etc and this is what the supernatural comes up with?

Ignorant, a modern dark age is upon us.:evilfrown:
