Isn’t it supposed to be elephants and turtles?

Sisyphos Hey, don’t go mocking the Turtle or you will end up in the soup!

@Sisyphos: They don’t need elephants until the planet grows up a little.

Wait, Is he poking the earth with a stick?

ah, baslim, do I detect another Joseph Campbell reader?

Turtles, elephants, titans, whatever. I’d prefer byootiful nekkid wimmenz. All the way down, tho I’m not sure down to where.

@Organspieler, either that or someone who remembers old jokes.

Us Terry Pratchett readers get it too!

Either our planet had gotten demoted (likely) or Justin replaced the world-bearing tortoise with a mere green turtle.

they are living on the elephant, and that was a close call for us.

steve3387: You can always find me in Ankh-Morpork at the Mended Drum :) Oh, and in case you didn’t know it, Terry Pratchett has been diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s.

As bright as you all are, I can’t believe you miss the symbolism here. Iroquois Mythology and the world on the back of a turtle. Hello? Are you new? Justin takes from ALL sources, and The American Indian creation mythology is some really cool stuff. Read about Sky Woman, and the Turtle someday, you will surely enjoy the story.
