The world is carried through space on the back of one of them!
Obviously, it's turtles all the way down. Although of course some modern theorists think the earth travels through space on the back of four elephants, who stand on a turtle, but that seems like quantum nonsense to me.What's that one standing on?

I can confirm that they are delicious. However this guy was not eaten so no need to call the turtle rights groups.Large tortoises are really good eating I'm told. I wonder if the smaller ones are a nice snack-sized meal?
