3. Nightline and Turtle Anecdote

I heard it as I hear much TV facing away from it in front of the computer. My wife watches Koppel for some reason. I always think that anecdote is too sly and wry for me since I have never found it amusing and don't know why people repeat it. The previous part of Nightline was OK since it showed a schoolboard in Dover PA overtaken by fundies pushing their pet theories (intelligent design) which they appeared NOT TO UNDERSTAND ENOUGH TO EXPLAIN!!
