tortoise mania

i thought what in the world had happened to inspire 80% of the MSNers online to include tortoises on their names.

i asked jolene, who said it was for steve irwin.

but steve was a crocodile hunter, not tortoise!

to which she said that tortoises are cute and green.

flabbergasted. huh??

and i was truly, truly amazed. all my friends, both near and far, decided to put tortoises on their nicks just for steve irwin? everyone thought the same thing? tortoises? WOW.

and then yin san had to tell me that it was actually a forwarded message sent to everyone to include tortoises/ turtles as a tribute to steve irwin ! rupa-rupanya bukan.

now im not amazed anymore. sigh.

but here's my tribute to steve irwin. although i only watched a few of the crocodile hunter series, he truly was a man of courage and genuine liveliness. the latter, i've to admire. my condolences to his family, and the millions of people whose hearts he touched.
