Satan's image seen on shell of turtle that survived inferno
‘The devil wanted us to know he was down there,’ Indiana pet shop owner says
The Associated Press
Updated: 11:17 a.m. ET March 21, 2005
MICHIGANTOWN, Ind. - A turtle that was the only survivor of a pet shop fire may have emerged with a hellish memento.
The palm-sized red-eared slider turtle, named Lucky, was the only animal to survive a fire last October at Dora’s A-Dora-ble Pet Shop in nearby Frankfort, about 40 miles northwest of Indianapolis.
Owner Bryan Dora now says he sees an image of 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,” Dora said. “To me, it’s too coincidental that the only thing to come out unscathed would have this image on it.”
The image was not visible before the fire and Dora speculates the intense heat might have caused the shell’s color to change. The turtle is healthy and there was no change in its behavior, he said.
The cause of fire that destroyed nine businesses or offices in the 1912 building in downtown Frankfort has not been determined.
“Turtles can hold their breath quite awhile,” Dora said. “He may have taken one breath just before and held it through the fire. Except that the fire went on and on for hours.”
Dora has produced a D-V-D 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 off-line.

That story is completely f**king ridiculous.
Yeah, I bet Satan probably had a bad day... Decided to burn a pet shop while letting people know he was pissed off by making a pretty picture of himself on a turtle shell.
And if you look at some of the other INCREDIBLE stories they are covering, i'll bet it will reinforce this claim's truthfulness...

Y'know - I've always been curious about this...
But why does Satan have a goat's head/horns, goat's legs, a forked tail, is a lovely red colour and a carries pitchfork? I mean - he's an angel isn't he? Did he have plastic surgery or something? |

To tell the truth, I didn't see Satan either. I just saw a goat.
And honestly, Sureal, the best answer I have is: some medieval guy decided that's how Satan was going to look like and that's how he looks today. Same reason Jesus is white and Mary Magdalene's a prostitute. (Jesus would actually be Arabic (duh!) and nowhere in the Bible does it say she's a prostitute. Gregory the Great said that five centuries later. And yes, I have watched too many "Behind the Da Vinci Code" specials lately.) |

There are many forms of Satan. The one you described is called Baphomet. I think he was created by the some Jewish Zealot, or a Templar or something. |
