Birthday cake!

[theweaselking]

This cake is for Harriet The Tortoise. Brought to the Australian zoo by Charles Darwin, she turned 176 years old this fall.

(Harriet was, for the first century at the zoo, believed to be male, and named "Harry".)

Is the cake made out of ... cake? Or is there some turtle-friendly good in there?

Not sure. I suspect that it's mostly for the zookeepers.

we love you

now watch as we eat you in effigy.

Some day, you'll make a great soup. Until then, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

It doesn't speak well of Darwin that he gave them a boy tortise who turned out to be a girl.

"Hi, I'm Charles Darwin. I know a lot about biology and evolution. Here is Harry the tortise"

"er . . . mister Darwin . . . that tortis is having babies . . ."

"uhh . . . you're mother was a lemur!"
