Yurtle? Is that you?

I had an interesting morning this week, one that can only really be afforded when on a bike trail that follows a river. I met a turtle.

You'll have to excuse the quality of the picture, my camera phone with it's measly 0.3 Mpixels was all i had on me to document what was supposed to be a normal tuesday morning. I know that there is no reference for the guy's size, but you'll have to take my word that Yurtle was the size of a dinner platter and had his head up along the right side of the trail. So, upon reflection, i decided to help him get out of the way, and slowly crept up behind him, gently lifted him with my fingertips as lightly as i could, and placed him on the river side of the trail, a few feet into the grass, with only some incredibly scary sounding heavy hissing to deter me. Also, did you know? Turtle's are nature's suction cups!

In other news, Michigan State is thinking about digitizing it's graphic media library by way of Google - one of the largest comic libraries in the world. Sadly, i didn't even learn of this library's existence until after i left East Lansing, but may see a significant decrease in free time if this does indeed go through.

Also, for your consideration: Disney is releasing Underdog: the movie this August. Yes. That Underdog. With the red shirt and the big U on it. Truly, i have mixed feelings about this.. though my inner 8 year old is pretty pleased.
