When you go to get a midnight drink and pour yourself a glass of Sprite and then, when you close the refrigerator door and the fridge light is now gone and there’s no other lights on and your glass now eerily glows in the dark … Now _that’s_ some Spooky Sprite.

This is the heart of the matter of the OP. All Spooky Sprite wants to know is where she could find some Turtle Porn\*.

Which lasts way longer than two minutes, not that I would…uh…know

Wee Turtles live under the toilet rim and are able to swim up a stream of urine, whereupon they become lodged in the urethra and must be surgically removed.

Also, a turtle’s quack does not echo. Mainly because it is inaudible.

Gotta disagree with you there Colibri. Most of the stuff on that site isn’t even wrong. Is it wrong to say something like, “Tuesday is actually orange, not green like the scientific consensus”?

Wow. Holocaust denial, 9/11 conspiracy theory, anti-semitism and blood libel, crackpot AIDS theories, crackpot anthropology; it’s like all the stupid in the world fell into that website. No aliens, though.

We’re descended from turtles, right?

I wonder if this is going to end up tying in to the Electric Sun at some point…

I only read a little of it, but is the gist that the writer believes that man has been around longer than we think?

If so, that’s the most boring ultimate truth I’ve ever heard.
