YES! Only 24 more hours until "Sabado Gigante!" [View All]

Last weekend, purely out of a random combination of chance and bordeom, I flipped on one of the Spanish-language networks and discovered a game show. Now, my Spanish is not as good as it was 15 years ago (and it pretty much sucked festering lizard anus back then), but I was able to get the basic gist of the competition and play along, and I even learned something, which I'll now share with those among you who may also have been living in the dark as far as your personal awareness of turtle sexing.

Someone correct me if I misunderstood what the guy was saying while holding the tortoise and gesturing - he seemed to be explaining that you can tell a male turtle from a female turtle by the underside of the shell. On a male, it's markedly concave, and on a female, it's pretty much flat. He went on to explain - in a language I don't understand, mind you - that this is necessary for turtles because if the male's undershell wasn't concave, he'd slide off when he went to mount the female for making baby turtles.

Now you know. And knowing is at least 2/3 of the battle. Fuck G.I. Joe and his wrong math!
