      Should I know what you are talking about? Please enlighten me as I really cannot be bothered to Google it.
      I'm better than dirt. Well, most kinds of dirt, not that fancy store-bought dirt... I can't compete with that stuff.

        Yes. Especial top-tip if you have a blond girlfriend and children.
        Chain the lawnmower up and keep the key hidden.
        Before you mow the lawn, find the tortoise, put it in a box, put the box in a locked room.
        Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.

          We had one that for some reason really annoyed the dog. So much so that he bit its head off.

            I’ve never liked the idea of owning a pet that in all probability would outlive me.
            Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

              That must have hurt. How much enjoyment does a tortoise provide as a pet? Can't see the attraction myself but am willing to be swayed.

                Russian tortoises are ace, definately get yourself one.

                If you get a screwdriver and prise the shell off, there is an identical, smaller one inside. Keep doing this till you get to a tiny little one in the middle. It's great fun.

                Dont forget to leave plenty of food if you are going on a long journey, like a four week drive to Palestine for example
