Good ol' A'tuin

    I find it amusing that more than once I've seen this picture of A'tuin, the space turtle from Discworld, used to represent Maturin, the space turtle from Stephen King's books. I don't remember Maturin having elephants or a disc-shaped world on his back!

    All these people worried about the flat earth and not a single one worried about the real issue here: Our turtle here, is it a male or a female? Because the outcome when it finds another wandering turtle can be extremely different depending on this.

    If I may, could you add to the transcript that its a flat planet on the backs of elephants on the back of a turtle, in a reference to discworld?

    "See the TURTLE of Enormous Girth"

    "On his shell he holds the Earth."

    "His thought is slow, but always kind."

    "He holds us all within his mind."

    "On his back all vows are made;"

    "He sees the truth but mayn't aid."

    "He loves the land and loves the sea,"

    "And even loves a child like me."

    Every time I've seen this, it's been on my phone and I've always thought it was the shadow of a drone.

    Now I'm seeing it on a bigger screen and can finally tell what it is.

    I knew the world was flat! F U Round Earthers! Now the 4 elephants on the back of a turtle did surprise me.
