We're the Ony Ones Touché Turtle* Enough

Body Floats in N.J. Canal, Gnawed by Turtles, for Nearly 24 Hours After Police Got Call
So much for Jersey's "Only One" heroes in a half shell...

Dial 911 and decompose?

*-For you youngsters

My wife likes reality shows. She says incidents like this that are a body recovery rather than a rescue would fit the format of "Coroner 911." Motto: "What's yer hurry? He ain't gonna climb out an' walk away."
No, but being it's Jersey, he might DISSOLVE.

Who's next, Lippy the Lion?

Tom Terrific?

I liked Cecil and Beanie too.

We've not featured Lippy nor Tom (or Crabby Appleton or Mighty Manfred) here yet, Jed, but Beanie and Cecil are old friends of WarOnGuns. It's tough explaining how I know this stuff but still don't consider myself a nerd.

And Defender--seeing as how Joisey cops can't get there in time to protect you, the least they can do is get to foresnic evidence before it's eaten by turtles--who knows, maybe that will help them catch a killer and indirectly save a life down the road.

Ah, David. That is funny. Maybe the cops who put the body in the canal don't want the killer to be caught.

Prediction: a body fished from a river and gnawed on by turtles will show up as a story line on a forthcoming CSI.
