Did you know  
…some species of turtle are remarkably resistant to centrifugal force, and can reach upwards of 5000 rpm before their wee little flippers fall off? \<[link](http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Did_You_Know)\>

These are some of the cutest animals that I’ve ever seen!

Wow.

The last turtle I ran into (er…not literally…) was trying to cross a busy road. It was in the center of the lane, all tucked into it’s shell - obviously scared out of it’s mind by all the cars running over/around it. I stopped my car, picked it up, carried it to the swamp adjacent and got peed on.

But it was still cute!
