  [http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Thanks for this article! We have previously discussed here starting a file on 'Politically Incorrect Moments from History', and I think turtle-riding would be top of the list. It doesn't sound any more pleasant (for the turtle) in the article, especially the part where they collected all the eggs up?! I'm looking to do a blog on this in the next couple of weeks, so will post it here :)
