Picture version of Vince pinching a turtle head out of his ass (yes, you can splice photos in paint.. it still counts)
So lately I've been getting a TON of hits from an ESPN Fantasy Football site.. which is totally cool! But it won't let me see exactly where it's coming from on the site (I keep getting this error: "You cannot view this private league because you are not a league member.")
So if you've come here from that site, I'd like to know what this picture's being used for - such a random one at that! (Just curiosity is all - use anything you want as long as it's linking back to me!)

Turtles are reptiles of the order Chelonii or Testudines characterised by a special bony or cartilaginous shell developed from their ribs that acts as a shield. "Turtle" may either refer to the order as a whole, or to particular Turtle which make up a form taxon that is not monophyletic.
The order Chelonii or Testudines includes both extant (living) and extinct species. The earliest known turtles date from 220 million years ago, making turtles one of the oldest reptile groups and a more ancient group than lizards, snakes or crocodiles. Of the many species alive today, some are highly endangered.
Like other reptiles, turtles are ectotherms—their internal temperature varies according to the ambient environment, commonly called cold-blooded. However, leatherback sea turtles have noticeably higher body temperature than surrounding water because of their high metabolic rate.
Like other amniotes (reptiles, dinosaurs, birds, and mammals), they breathe air and do not lay eggs underwater, although many species live in or around water. The largest turtles are aquatic.
I've rescued several box turtles from the highway over the years. I usually just let them go in the back yard. When I see a box turtle in the yard I wonder whether it's one I found on the road or whether it just wandered in from somewhere.

This girl was one of three that was crossing the road. She was the only survivor by the time John saw her, stopped, and brought her to the safety of the ponds at home. She either already had laid, or was ready to lay, her eggs. She moved very, very fast. John put her in Pond 3.

I have managed to capture a photo of this sea turtle when i was swimming with underwater glasses, at Akumal beach, Mexico. I was extremely lucky that the turtle agreed to pose, and did not run off.
