Pet store owner: Satan's image on turtle's shell

The shell of Lucky is shown in Michigantown, Indiana.


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."



Kind of funny... we see the Virgin Mary all over the place... I don't recall too many sightings of Satan ;)

Beward the Turtle!

So satan really has a goatee eh?
I thought that was a childhood caricature..... :lol:

The animal survived because that is what turtles do. That's why they have shells that they can retract their limbs inside of. They have been around for a hell of a long time! Of course satan sounds much better, and will bring home the bacon on EBAY. I'd pay a few dollars for a satanic turtle!

Frankly I am surprised no wacky christian right person hasn't tried to exorcise the turtle. Or that bush hasn't sent a regiment of marines there to capture the turtle and take it to gitmo to try and learn what satan's plan is.... I mean really does that sound too far fetched for a thing Bush would do.

If the store owner had no mental image of satan in his mind (and that looks to me like the satan from South Park if i recollect correctly) would he even have noticed?

He's feeling guilty about something he did and fearing the consequences, hahaha!

Meh. That's nothing. I once had a cat that was the spittin' image of the Marquis de Sade. :devil:

I just thought of something so stupid it's funny. We now know why the Tortoise beat the hare. The tortoise was in league the devil.

IT is a little known fact that the tortoise was an emissary of ....... El diablo..... :D
Does explain how he won though.

[Riddley]

No, but explains the rather large betting plunge on the Tortiose just before the race!

[el nopal]

I thought it lokoed like an image of the Mother Mary.

[Leonidas]

Is a tutle with Satan on its back really lucky?

Funny though this is the same as when people go on about seeing such and such gods how the hell are you supposed to know I mean you see what you wanna see.
