[total hijack] I dunno, I always thought Ponder Stibbons was the sensible one. I was just reading the Last Continent as a matter of fact, where he’s talking to the God of Evolution and the beard bit. [/end hijack]

It’s all right [here](http://eljebelshrine.org/).

The turtle is the chocolate/pecan/caramel thing. And the egg? A cadbury cream egg! That’s what Spooky Sprite isn’t telling us.

But are we inside, with that nasty buttercream center crap or sitting on the chocolate shell? And do we have to wear those stupid hats?

Actually, the system told me that **Spooky Sprite** won’t be able to sit down for a month after it’s through with him - apparently he’ll feel like he laid an egg _bigger than the world_.

So the world is about to hatch, and I guess another giant turtle, or possibly giant turtles, will be the result?

It all makes sense. Global warming has finally gotten the incubation temperature to the right level. It is all the System’s fault!
