Funny how the tortoise could get out of the garden in 5 minutes, but only get 1.8 miles in 8 months! :D
...Is this just a dream I'm in?

I know a song Tortoise and the Hare by the Moody blues can You tell me what that means what is a tortoise and what is a Hare
Walk along the Waterfall, watching as the world turns red
Wonder where the river flows, and the blood on the River bed
Poison lies to close to us, Reach across the salt and Sand
Moving Deeper into the Land

I think a 'tortoise' is a 'schildpad'. (I always thought it was called 'turtle', I think it's a matter of American or English way of writing)
A 'hare' is a 'haas'. It's a bigger 'rabbit' ('konijn') with longer ears and I think it tastes less good. ;)

For all you animal-lovers out there: the last sentence was just kidding, I never ate a hare. (Although I think I did eat a rabbit once...)

A "tortoise" lives strictly on land. "Turtles" live on land and water or strictly in the water. One exception, in English anyway, is the "Box Turtle," which lives on land.

Thank You for the explanation!

Hmmm, they're in the news rather often, it seems :D

We also have two turtles, but they can't run away...

Tortoises make good news stories on a slow news day.

Keith 'The Tortoise' Morse does it again.  ;D

Does this make Spock's Beard the greatest tortoise-led prog band in history?
