Satan on turtle's back

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. © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.

That looks more like a dragon than satan, which could mean that Crysi did that! AH!

And I agree with Emma, that guy is just after money and fame...I'll give that 2 days until it dies down.

Gotta a find a woman be good to me,
Who won't hide my liquor, try to serve me tea.
