I agree.  This is the best answer I've heard.  I bet USFRA could come 
up with a class for 'em...sorta like barstools.  I don't even want to 
consider the idea of a "blown" turtle class.  Would a meal of refried 
beans move a turtle to the Fuel class?  I shudder to think...

Funny about this pic.  It's elicited more conversation than any of 
the others.  I almost didn't include it cuz I couldn't figure out 
what it was.  Maybe someone (Glen?) could look up the owner's info 
and get the real story.  'Course that would spoil all the fun.  :)
