Kiki, the giant tortoise who sometimes tried to mate with a wheelbarrow, has died.
http://www.newser.com/story/75557/tortoise-loverboy-146-dies-in-paris.html

"However crushed they were by his 550 pounds, the females suffered his assaults without any complaint." - Science writer Frédéric Lewino

"From time to time I even saw him go after a wheelbarrow," said the zoo vet.

Two thoughts on this:

1) Giant female tortoises and wheelbarrows everywhere are in mourning today.
2) Does Rick Santorum know about the tortoise on wheelbarrow action and if so, why hasn't he condemned this perversion?

5. TZ, do you have any comment on this?
I mean, I know it's wheelbarrows, not shoes, but still....
