UK Scientist Teaches Tortoise to Yawn, Wins IG Nobel Award

[Terry Allan Hall]

Oh, ye of little faith...

Oh, I have plenty of faith. I thought I had a very wild imagination, but even I don't have enough to think a Hermanns could ever do it.

That's because you judge all tortoises by the lowered bar of the Hingeback tribe...

I would like to see the song and dance....

It's coming along...biggest problem has been finding a straw boater hat that'll fit a Hermann's...the cane was much simpler!

OTOH, they've done great things in Scotland...

True, but only because the Hingebacks have lowered their bar as to not make the rest of the species feel so bad about themselves. They thought about lowering it even more because of those poor poor creatures call Hermanns, but decided the bar could never go so low.


Side note: Sorry folks for allowing this to go off topic (*swats own hands*) and honestly no offense is meant. Just Terry and I joking around.

It's cool, and awfully thoughtful of the self-effacing Hingebacks...always known for being truly good sports!
