I was at the zoo once with my fiance.
We saw the giant Galapagos tortoise being sloooooowly coaxed into it's house for the evening. Talked to the handler guy, who said it takes like 2 hours to get the tortoise inside, so they start early.
Guy seemed bored, so we talked a bit more. He told us this epic story:
The tortoise will sometimes not eat his lettuce but instead stand on his hind legs just behind the lettuce and wait. And wait. Motherfucker is patient. Eventually a bird will come try and eat the lettuce. Tortoise goes WHOOMP on his belly and smashes the fucking bird. Tortoise eats the bird.
Now that's a ferocious tortoise.

I don't think a tortoise can physically stand on its hind legs
like the shape of its bones and its shell would not permit it
also high chance of it getting on its back and dying
also I don't think that sort of behavior has ever been recorded by science in any species of turtle
do you understand the sheer magnitude of what he is saying
if somebody told me that I would have first posted on a zoology forum to find out if such a thing is heard of
then I would call a news station or something, someone who could easily get in touch with the scientific community
EDIT: wiki says only a couple species of tortoise eat so much as worms, and too much protein from that alone would cause shell deformation
I do not think that guy was telling the truth kino

I could never get used to Gimp.
That, and I hate firing up X11 and avoid it if I can.
Then again, I haven't given it a chance in a decade or something.... My memories of Gimp are probably still from the pre-1.0 days. omg has it been that long? Yeesh.
Edit: *downloads Gimp 2.6.7... notices it supports tablets on Leopard now, oh boy*
