4. Don't be shy, that's good enough to post in the Lounge!
The mods will probably upgrade it there, anyway. :P

That's a hilarious video.

5. Still, I wouldn't have seen this if it'd been posted in the lounge straightaway
The Lounge is on my 'pay no mind' list. When a thread gets moved there, however, it'll show up on the 'Latest Threads' page, and I'll usually click on it, since it may actually be something worthwhile instead of insider jokes that mean nothing to the casual observer.

7. I used to avoid the Lounge.
Now it's the main place I hang out. After eight years of the same arguments, sometimes you just want to hang out with other liberals and talk about non-political stuff with people who don't say "Thank Jesus and Ronald Reagan" after every sentence. :) Living in Texas, sometimes I just need contact with saner folk.

8. Tortoises can bite a stick (or bone) in half, and that's an awfully aggressive one....
I met some people who had one that size -- it was pretty young, but spawned in Africa someplace I think they said. It was supposed to grow to enormous proportions. I'm used to other kinds that take many many years to get as big as that one is.

Anyhow, I LOL'd, but if I were them I keep the dog away for the dog's safety!

10. Plus, wild animals should not be held captive in people's yards.
Other than those little problems, his tenacity is quite impressive.

13. That's an African Spurred Tortoise.
Very common as pets, especially in Europe (or so says Google). It's a feisty one, too! :)
