MICHIGANTOWN, Ind. (AP) – A central Indiana pet shop owner says a turtle that was the only animal to survive an October fire has developed an image of Satan’s face on its shell. Bryan Dora says it looks like the devil wants us to know that he was there. Dora says he can see a goatee and a pair of pointy horns on the shell of the palm-sized red-eared slider turtle named Lucky. He says Lucky is healthy and its behavior hasn’t changed. Investigators could not determine the cause of the fire, which destroyed the A-Dora-ble Pet Shop [!] and several other businesses in Frankfort, about 40 miles northwest of Indianapolis. Dora has produced a DVD 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. [!!]
Has Lucky developed a taste for pizza? Evinced an interest in headbands and throwing stars? Is he consulting with the white rat in the next cage over?
What about developing an interest in Renaissance artists?
I almost began a thread on this when I heard it on the radio Friday night.
Here’s a picture of it.
Dora Bryan kicked ass in those “Carry On…” movies.
Odd-looking turtle; if you hadn’t captioned it, I’d have thought that was a Kansas City Star website registration form! :dubious:
The Kansas City Star is SAAATAAAAAANNNNN!!!
Hey! Satan is Bowser!
Huh, I never registered to the KCS and didn’t have to. 
It was the first hit from Google.
Thanks for the back-up links.
That makes the turtle a koopa troopa. Who knows the number of a good plumber/italian american stereotype?
Failing that we could get Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo.
I guess His Infernal Majesty was tired of Jesus and the Virgin Mary getting all of the appearances. It’s good PR for the Prince of Lies.
It could also be a horse or a bunny. If this is the best Satan can do, I’m really not impressed.
Well, that’s a relief, I’d hate to see the turtle go on some crazed satanic killing spree. They better watch it closely though, I hear the first sign is that the eyes start to glow red.
Kudos to Satan for picking something more interesting to appear on than an ancient cheese sandwich or a door.
Jesus appears on a tortilla and Satan appears on a tortoise. Next we’ll see Jesus on a tupperware dish and Satan on a turnip. These guys are just working their way through the dictionary - expect to see reports of spectral images on umbrellas, underwear, xylophones, and yoyos. Whoever reaches the finish line first and manifests on a zymurgist wins. I’m keeping an eye on Ukulele Ike’s posts to monitor their progress.
Or perhaps Captain Lou Albano and Danny Wells.
“Lucky?” That’s ridiculous. By all rights, that turtle’s name should be Gamera. Duh.
The image looks more like a mad cow than Satan to me. I’ve never met Satan, but I’ve seen my share of mad cows, so I know that look. What? I grew up in a rural area and learned to tell a mad cow from a happy cow. That’s good info to know in rural areas.
For all I know though Satan could look like a mad cow.
I would love to see that! Kinda like the guy being run down by the steamroller in that Austin Powers movie.
Soooo, Satan has so much time on his hands he’s torching pet shops in Indiana? You’d think that would be the sort of thing he’d leave to his minions. Maybe he’s a micromanager.
