Looks as flat as any spider that's been anywhere near me.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Now that's cool!
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Now let's take some of it's DNA and stick it into turtle eggs just to see what happens.

My favorite post of the entire day. I don't give a fuck if my post adds nothing to the thread. That shit was funny.

Just wondering, is there any particular reason it had to be turtles?

I found out recently that they discovered that DNA has a half life of only just over 500 years. I don't know if being preserved will alter that in any way.

Link to the article, if anyone is interested.

No I just like turtles, they're very laid back.
