Pet Shop Owner Sees Satan on Turtle Shell

The Associated Press says an Indiana pet shop owner has seen the face of Satan ... on a turtle shell.

Bryan Dora, owner of the A-Dora-ble Pet Shop (get it?), says Lucky the turtle is now sporting a lovely shell ensemble complete with earth tone shading and a pointy-horned devil. Lucky developed his demon tattoo shortly after a fire gutted the pet shop in October. He was the only animal to survive the blaze.

Dora claims to see horns and a goatee on Lucky's shell. His story is outright wacky, but if you stare at this image long enough you can sorta see where he's coming from. Then again, Lucky's mark of the beast also looks a lot like that rabbit thing from "Donnie Darko."

Dora says Lucky's behavior hasn't changed since the Devil had his way with him. Like all good capitalists, Dora intends to suck every last penny from this moment in the sun by auctioning off a DVD chronicling Lucky's life. He'll also give the winning bidder the option of buying Lucky. Perhaps evil really is afoot. Or aturtle.* -- Mac
