Virgin Mary found on turtle

The painted turtle was wandering across a parking lot in Streamwood, Illinois, when Gricelda Chavez tried to move it to the safety of a pond.



But the turtle flipped over as she reached down, revealing the Virgin Mary on the bottom of its shell. The reptile, now nicknamed Holy Turtle, was taken home and is temporarily living in a new container and has been offered a bit of food.

Must have been a slow news day.

Where the poor bugger will probably snuff it from being improperly cared for. Turtles need massive tanks and fairly powerful filtration to thrive.

THE TURTLE MOVES!

Pratchett was right!

It looks more like Darth Vader to me.

Are you sure that's not Darth Vader instead of the Virgin Mary?
