June 2, 2010: "Turtle Boy" growth removed

This lad in China, Eight-year-old Maimaiti Hali, developed a tumor or growth of some sort which made his classmates call him "turtle boy".

Ew, look at the hair on it. Ew.

So doctors operated, and removed it. But we're not told what it really was, or why it happened, or WTF. Anyway, he can be a part of our Cellar Turtle Fest 2010.

Mole mole mole! [/austin powers]

Now maybe his head won't have to compete for resources.

Asians in a half-shell, TURTLE POWER!

... They're coming.

Four years in a warrior monastery and he totally would have been a teenage mutant ninja turtle. Seems a shame to let that opportunity go.

I told myself and told myself: do not open an IotD with the words "growth" and "removed" in the title. I didn't listen to myself.

There goes his career in the TMNT movies... !

Now, you'll be forever disappointed that he chose to remove his gift, right?

Maybe they could send it, to you? You could have it surgically grafted, to your back, and then YOU would have the gift... the power.

Would that make you happy?

Oh HALE no. Take that gift off, throw that gift away, do not let that gift darken his, mine, or anyone else's doorstep ever again.

Okay... but it'll darken your back. How's that? ;)

By all that is unholy, I decree that, upon the first Friday in June, you shall awaken with a hairy shell adorning your back.

Pictures please.:rolleyes:

Can you drop a basement? Just kidding. :p:

Glinda just hasn't been the same since that house fell on her sister.

Can I get some synchronized watches? My cable modem and my cable TV have different times. (What is up with that?)

The way I see it, I have one hour and 2 to 5 minutes before I get turtle back.

Tomorrow is Friday, right?

Only in English-speaking countries.
