MICHIGANTOWN, Indiana (AP) -- An Indiana pet store owner says he sees the image of Satan on the shell of a turtle that was the only survivor of a store fire in October. The palm-sized red-eared slider turtle, named Lucky, was the only animal to survive the fire at Dora's A-Dora-ble Pet Shop in nearby Frankfort, about 40 miles northwest of Indianapolis. Owner Bryan Dora now says he sees Satan's face on the critter's shell. He can spot lips, eyes, a goatee, shoulders and a pair of pointy horns on Lucky's back. "The marking on the shell was like the devil wanted us to know he was down there," Bryan Dora said. "To me, it's too coincidental that the only thing to come out unscathed would have this image on it." The image was not visible before the fire and Dora speculates the intense heat might have caused the shell's color to change. The turtle is healthy and there was no change in its behavior, he said. The cause of fire that destroyed nine businesses or offices in the 1912 building in downtown Frankfort has not been determined. "Turtles can hold their breath quite awhile," Dora said. "He may have taken one breath just before and held it through the fire. Except that the fire went on and on for hours."

This turtle image which looks more like a bull than a devil, reminds me of a comment I saw on the History Channel 2-part special on "the Bible Code", where the anology was drawn between the Bible Code and people who see animals or objects in random shapes of clouds. Also reminds me of that famous image on mars. The right angle of light sure can reveal some interesting things we never noticed before, that were there all along. Or is real?....
turtle of iniquity.
We've discovered a neat way to make Jesus tortillas. Paint the image on the tortilla with lemon juice, the invisible image then appears as the tortilla is heated. We got a large rubber stamp of the zig-zag man from Stampa-barbara in Santa Barbara California. He looks like Jesus and we use this for the totillas when my sister's kids come over. The kids love it.
Is the turtle posed on ebay yet?
set this up on PPV, the Turtle VS. The Virgin Mary Cheese Sandwich.
