Tortoise in the no shell

It dawned on me this morning that I have no idea what a tortoise looks like without it's shell. Now I know what you're thinking, it looks a lot like a turtle without it's shell, but considering I haven't seen one of those without it's shell either, that doesn't help me a whole lot....and if anyone mentions terrapins then your wasting your breath there too.


Has anyone seen this before? Are you curious enough to actively find out? Can I watch?

  • Really, that depends entirely on temperature. It's just one of those eternally ambiguous things; I mean at what point does a dropping graduate to a turd?

  • Temperature and thickness methinks.

    Surely a dropping is always a turd and vice versa.

    I think an eternally ambiguous question is, why should someone care "whose ya daddy" when they're "getting jiggy with it"?

  • Hmmm, not so sure.Droppings are something that David Attenbrough might rub inquisitively between his fingers, but you just wouldn't go near a turd. I still maintain there's a distinction...

  • Then we're on the whole calling a knife a spoon subject. Much like the Simpsons episode when Marge quotes "A flower by any other name will smell as sweet.", to which Homer retorts "Not if they were called stink blossoms"...or is it crapweeds? I can't quite remember
