Satan.... Turtle?
Satan's image seen on shell
of turtle that survived inferno
MICHIGANTOWN, Ind. - A turtle that was the only survivor of a pet shop fire may have emerged with a hellish memento.The palm-sized red-eared slider turtle, named Lucky, was the only animal to survive a fire last October at Doras A-Dora-ble Pet Shop in nearby Frankfort, about 40 miles northwest of Indianapolis.
Owner Bryan Dora now says he sees an image of Satans face on the critters shell. He can spot lips, eyes, a goatee, shoulders and a pair of pointy horns on Luckys back.
The marking on the shell was like the devil wanted us to know he was down there, Dora said. To me, its too coincidental that the only thing to come out unscathed would have this image on it.
The image was not visible before the fire and Dora speculates the intense heat might have caused the shells color to change. The turtle is healthy and there was no change in its behavior, he said.
The cause of fire that destroyed nine businesses or offices in the 1912 building in downtown Frankfort has not been determined.
Turtles can hold their breath quite awhile, Dora said. He may have taken one breath just before and held it through the fire. Except that the fire went on and on for hours.
Dora has produced a D-V-D of the turtles story that he plans to auction on the Internet. He will also offer the winning bidder the chance to buy Lucky off-line.

Its wonderful that youre a massage therapist. The world would be a better place if everyone got massages. I think I was addicted to massages for awhile. I had a massage therapist in Seattle who not only had great hands but it was almost a spiritual experience. So youre probably thinking Im a nut case now, but seriously, out of the two dozen or so people (men and women) Ive tried she was different.
La stone therapy. The absolute best thing in the world. I was at the Red Mountain Spa a year ago and had the la stone twice. Fantastic!
Long winded welcome, the best of luck with the new business.
