Firstly, I shouldn't think so. I mean, do they have ears??

Secondly - the post says "wneh" yet the quote box says "when" - what's all that abaaaaaaaaaaart??

And now it's changed think am I going a little bit mad??

Last edited by PaganJay; 25th Mar 2009 11:52pm. Reason: I think my marbles are going the same way as the tortoise!

don't you know - all tortoises are born with an outboard motor up their back ends! you often see them on the boating lake on Vally Rd - maybe that's where Bob was headed...

It is a little known fact that during world war one Tortoises were trained to go out into no mans land and retrieve shot down carrier pigeons and bring them back to allied lines. though many were decorated it is believed this was the starting of presenting medals on a ribbon around the neck, because have you ever tried pinning a medal on a tortoises chest.
