COWABUNGA!!

GRANDMA'S THEORY

A well-known scientist (some say it was Bertrand Russel) once gave a public lecture on astronomy. He described how the earth orbits around the sun and how the sun, in turn, orbits around the center of a vast collection of stars called our galaxy. At the end of the lecture, a little old lady at the back of the room got up and said: "What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat place supported on the back of a giant tortoise." The scientist gave a superior smile before replying,"What is the tortoise standing on?" "You're very clever, young man, very clever," said the old lady. "But it's turtles all the way down!"

Excert from Stephen Hawking's, A BRIEF HISTORY OF TIME


The ancestors of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles all piled-up.
