You should have used your time-branch to go an hour into the future before you picked it up.
"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."
I've got a real problem with people who claim stuff like "it's like god (or satan) wanted us to know" to justify to themselves their own continued belief in their big invisible friend.
Now, if it's got the image burned into it's back, is it truly unscathed? And would not the amount of heat needed to "create a picture" on the shell be enough to cook the damned turtle, at least partially?
I'd experiment, but the closest pet store is 120 miles away. I've always wondered what turtle soup actually tastes like, though. Maybe I should go get some turtles and thereby kill two "birds" with one stove?
I agreee.....They must think Satan had it out for them. If I was a supreme Creature of EVIL, I don't know if I would use a Pet Store to show my use of Power.
If satan existed, why in hell would he want to burn down a pet store? Did the animals have a little church set up in the back? He just HAD to teach the puppies who was better?
Maybe he just likes the smell of burnt hair.
And generally, arsonists don't leave a picture of themselves laying around at the scene of a crime, either.

I think it looks uncannily like King Bowser Koopa from the Nintendo games. It would be like him to burn down a pet store; a far more appropriate level of mischief for Bowser than for Satan, Lord of the Flies, Prince of Evil. Besides, Satan is busy in Florida trying to yank the feeding tube out of Terry Schiavo, when he's not in Massachussetts presiding over gay weddings and tempting pop singers to bare their breasts on national television.
Are you suggesting that KING KOOPA is Satan??? And he lives in Florida???
I think Nintendo got some explaning to do.

The face on the shell has a goatee

It makes me want to make a road trip and go buy the poor maligned little sucker.
But, we are picking up a puppy on Friday, and I have no desire to add salmonella worries and a new mouth to feed to that.
Sorry Satan.

Well, we haven't seen Bowser for a while, have we? Maybe he grew a beard in the waiting line.
You know, Myst, if it had not been a recognized name that posted the links, I never would have followed said links and found out that "goats have--one must speak frankly--prominent genitals."
They say you learn someting new every day... quess I'll shut my brain off til midnight now.
(And by the way, goats aren't more "well hung", it's just that the sheep's wool hides a dong rather better than goat hair does. So I guess I really didn't learn something new now, did I?)
