Teflon-coated turtle, with *very* broad tastes.

Slow enough that you'll get to finish your meal before it walks away, a turtle coated with teflon is the ultimate in flatware. The food slides right off, giving dear old Tommy something to eat for his trouble.

Great dinnertime conversation starter.

Keep your turtle out of your mouth. And remember to wash your hands http://www.anapsid.org/salm3.html

       As long as you don't teflon coat the turtle that holds up the world you got my vote.   

       I don't know about the Australian ones, but Red Eared Sliders move pretty darn slick. And a Snapping Turtle will take your fingers off. Besides salmonella, Hepatitis B is also a serious risk.   

       However, turtles make pretty decent eating (which is why they sell all those baby turtles in Chinatown), so just flip the thing on its back and put it on the barbecue. (Just make sure it's hot enough to kill all the germs.)

       I'm not suggesting you share the meal with the turtle/tortoise, and risking a dose of Salmonella.   

       You simply sit the food on its back whilst eating. If it slides off and the turtle gets it then that's your bad luck.

       Nope. Won't woik. Mainly because the gnomes would slide off too and be pissed at losing their best form of transportation. 'Cause you know turtles are more reliable than snails.....

       A sushi carrying turtle could be all the rage at sushi train.

       Thought about that, [krelnik]. You'll need to provide a link, if that anno is to survive.

       Most turtle shells are convex, making them less than optimally efficient eating surfaces. Would the next logical step after this be to breed turtles with flat, or even concave, shells? And how would such modifications affect the poor terapins' spines?
