[Quote=Spooky Sprite] A turtle laid an egg. The egg is the world. The egg is about to hatch. [/Quote] Cite? ---

But…well, why was the original OP closed? Now I’ll NEVER know why the turtle laid the egg. Nor how the egg was (is?) the world? And finally, what exactly happens when it hatches?? We’ll never know! :smack: [QUOTE=Spooky Sprite] Why’d you close my thread? [/QUOTE] Mind you, I can’t read the Mods minds, nor do I have any other claim to psychic powers (beyond those of most superhero’s), but perhaps it has something to do with this bit here: [QUOTE=MEBuckner] Moderator’s Note: There does not seem to be a debate here (“The world is not a turtle’s egg! It’s already hatched! It was a Great Bird, not a turtle!”). I don’t know what this thread is, so what it is, is closed. [/QUOTE] Mind you, I could be wrong and maybe MEBuckner REALLY just doesn’t want this disturbing information to be let out of the bag (or egg I suppose). BTW, the best burrito’s you can get at a fast food type restaurant are, IMHO, at Twisters. I especially like the carne burritos with beans AND cheese. Chorizo with beans, cheese, egg and potato are also good for breakfast. Just saying. AFAIK though, no turtle egg burros are available, nor were any turtles harmed in the creation of this post. -XT ---

[QUOTE=Spooky Sprite] It would perfect sense if you knew what I know. [/QUOTE] My first guess would be that you think the Earth is about to go through some sort of massive change. I’d be willing to bet that you’re a 2012er, one of those who believe that the last year on the Mayan calendar will be when the aliens come down with all their vast knowledge and end famine, war, and disease. Or you could mean something else entirely. Please enlighten me, oh wise one. ---
