The latest "Turtleman" marketing spin-off.

Next will be a Lolly dog puppet that barfs and pees on the floor for reality.

D'man - you NAILED It right from the get-go - kudos!

Hey, after all, there are more and more people trying think up ideas, plans and scams, in order to separate other people from their money, all the time, from eternity past, present, and into the future.

For those times you really need an excuse to be in the hospital for a while, just press the hidden button and the robotic wrist scorpion does the rest. (Just make sure you have someone around to call 911)

Side effects may cause burning, pain, numbing, seizures, difficulty breathing, and possibly death.

Buy your wrist scorpion today.

How arthritic pain attacks the wrist as visually described on e-Health.com.

Those are some very skinny arms, by the way, by and by.

.....or elbows, knees, whatever.

Jees - that limb realy appears to be just skin and bones, (when compared to the hand and fingers) - what is this picture of? - a really sick and/or malnourished person? - At least he/she has a 'brace' of some kind on one of his/hers extremities.

maybe it's an alien being!!!

I'm guessing the bracelet is on a wrist, the picture is a side and slightly top shot. A womans arm. The side profile of the wrist is then quite thin.

The first fully-cloned pet was named for the bubbles of white that showed up in 3s. Who knew that the "Tri-bubble" or 'Tribble' would eventually be so much trouble?

My neighbor has a dog that likes to hump my leg. Whatever that thing is, it's getting too close to my face.
