1. Awwww....that's sad.
I hate to be morbid, but I wonder what they'll do with his shell?

That looks like a crane behind him, kinda obscured by the fence.

Oh wait... I've spent too much time in the Sep-11 forum.

4. Since he was alive when the Consitution was written, I can only assume
that Fuckstick's destruction of America was what finally did the tortoise in.

He saw what we were, and what we've become, and where we're heading, and so he left for tortoise heaven.

7. Awww, RIP Addwaitya. :(
As to the thing behind him, I think it's a statue/sculpture/carving of a bird head of some sort.

8. Incredible! I think that is a Marabou stork behind the tortoise. They
are large birds and have a nasty disposition from time to time. "Peck your eye out, kid!"

If that tortoise could have spoken what stories he could have told.
