I am pretty sure what he did is illegal.<br />1. those who stopped - likely the best people on earth could have been hit by their polar opposites: <br />.....A. they were paying attention while driving. Amazing!<br />.....B. posses compassion. Amazing!<br />2. how many folks who stopped this time will see this vid and say, 'never falling for that again' and perhaps not stop for the next roadside thing in need of assistance?<br />3. the turtle is by far the largest object, casting a shadow and more visible than his other targets.<br />4. How many people are now going to take a foam turtle, puppy, kitten, etc. and put something big and sharp inside of it? I have to admit, I want to watch THAT video.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-57946900550045635912012-07-27T08:34:54.904-05:002012-07-27T08:34:54.904-05:00Awesome, I love home science.

I was perplexed at what would make someone swerve to hit an animal. I was hoping it was just literary license, but I guess not. I'm still hoping the term Post Turtle doesn't have a basis in reality, but I suspect it does.<br /><br />I think it comes down to the simple fact that some people are a-holes.Larrynoreply@blogger.com
