Snapping WTFery

This woman is annoyed that a snapping turtle moved into her swimming pool. She should give him a break! It obviously took a lot of effort to get there. That pool isn't the slightest bit turtle-accessible.

Wheel Turtle

Thinking of visiting North Dakota? Don't miss the Wheel Turtle. In 1982, George Gottbreht erected a gigantic sculpture of a turtle by recycling 2,000 steel wheel rims. Charmingly, the sculpture's head is capable of bobbing up and down. But if you can't make it out to Dunseith, you can take a virtual tour.

I Wanna Be A Turtle

When you're having a bad day, sometimes it helps to think like a turtle. So here's a cheesy turtle tribute, grumpy people of the internet. And if you like Jordan Weller's The Turtle Song, you can purchase it here.

The History of Turtle Racing

To honor the National Elementary School Turtle Racing Finals, College Humor is airing a six part mock-umentary about the sport. Episode one explores the unusual history of turtle racing. If anyone wants an expert's opinion (I'm looking at you, compulsive gamblers), my bet is on the box turtle with the whitewall shell.

Turtle Bookmark

Who wants a boring rectangular strip of paper as a bookmark when you can turn your book into a turtle? Check this turtlemark out. It's creative, cute, and it keeps your place. I approve.

Tortoise Gump

I don't understand all-human casts, I really don't. Does Hollywood think that tortoises are too slow to to be effective actors? I think this fellow's performance as Forrest Gump is pretty damn good. Run Forrest, Run!

Rude Turtle

I believe that everything can be improved by adding turtles. Take Rihanna's music, for example. Isn't the Rude Boy video a million times better with a Red Eared Slider in it?

Creatures of the Mechazoic Era

These seriously impressive sculptures of fossilized robots were created by artist Justin Chase Black of ThrowingChicken.com. Each piece is modeled after an actual creature. You can see more detailed pictures at the artist's DeviantArt page.
