    Disabled turtle finds romance after getting wheels
    [​IMG]

    Posted: Today at 4:05 p.m.
    JERUSALEM — Arava the disabled turtle is using her new set of wheels to get around in more ways than one. Officials at the Jerusalem Biblical Zoo say the 10-year-old spurred tortoise has begun mating since being fitted with a custom skateboard to overcome paralysis of her hind legs.
    The 55-pound turtle is unable to move herself forward with her front legs alone. So the zoo's staff built her a metal board with two wheels that can be strapped to her stomach.
    Arava arrived in Jerusalem a few months ago from a petting zoo in southern Israel with the unexplained handicap, and found no reptile romance. Zoo curator Shmulik Yedvad says it's not that Arava has come out of her shell with her unique new wheelchair, but that a particularly amorous 10-year-old male has been after her.

  4. I all of a sudden have an old Rod Stewart song playing in my head. Its the song 'hot legs' but instead of it being hot legs its HOT WHEELS.

    Whos that knocking on my door
    Its gotta be a quarter to four
    Is it you again coming round for more
    Well you can love me tonight if you want
    But in the morning make sure youre gone
    Im talkin to you
    Hot wheels, wearing me out
    Hot wheels, you can scream and shout
    Hot wheels, are you still in school
    I love you honey

    Gotta most persuasive tongue
    You promise all kinds of fun
    But what you dont understand
    Im a working man
    Gonna need a shot of vitamin e
    By the time youre finished with me
    Im talking to you
    Hot wheels, youre an alley cat
    Hot wheels, you scratch my back
    Hot wheels, bring your mother too
    I love you honey.....
