Did you know that where I grew up in South Carolina most folks are convinced that man did not evolve and that the whole earth is only 5,000 years old?
Some people in many places believe that the earth is only a few thousand years old and i'm not talking religion here, only what some evolutionary scientists believe.
An American paleontologist i know was once in an area where some Amish people lived and asked a farmer if he could look for fossils on his land. The gentleman readily agreed and the fossil collector spent a happy and fruitful day collecting fossils on his land. When he'd done he went to the farmhouse to say thanks and the family invited him to stay for supper. Afterwards, the paleontologist was asked to show them what he'd found and he did. the family were fascinated and curious as the chap told them about his finds until a young child asked how old the fossils were.
The paleontologist replied they were millions of years old at which point the host's face darkened visibly and the fossil hunter quickly added that some people say they are millions of years old and others say only a few thousand years old. Everyone relaxed and had a good evening together.

They managed to break out and then break IN to another pen that housed my three new tortoises. Frankly, I don't see how that could have happened, but They are all in there together apparently.
I'll investigate when I get home.
Could be West Side Torty all over again - the Sharks v the Jets - wonder which one of your gals will be Maria?
