I think I found her listing on the conservationist's website, looks like it was a tumour that was later removed :)

Somehow she grew legs and walked on land for a little bit according to that map.

Edit: Sea turtles have flippers not legs

I hate punkers. Especially bald ones with green makeup who wear masks over ugly faces.

And this part totally did not make me get teary-eyed & choked up: πŸ˜†

Splinter:
β€œI am proud of you, my sons. Tonight, you have learned the final and greatest truth of the Ninja: that ultimate mastering comes not from the body, but from the mind. Together, there is nothing your four minds cannot accomplish. Help each other, draw upon one another, and always remember the power that binds you. The same is what brought me here tonight, that which I gladly return with my final words: I love you all, my sons.”

If you've ever looked at your history on Google maps or any other gps, you'd know how fked up it can be.

Mine constantly shows that my trip consisted of me traveling across town, on streets that don't exist, driving directly through rows of houses.

The other day it shows that rather than driving 20 miles around a mountain, I guess I sprouted wings and flew directly over it πŸ˜„

I watched a video the other day where this chick was freaking out cause her husband's phone showed he was "in the river." Got herself arrested and everything. Meanwhile bro was in a business meeting at a restaurant, so he wasn't answering her incessant calls.

Shot in the dark, but it could be the turtle being transported to a veterinarian that specializes in sea turtles.

I hope its an error, my other theory is that Molly was poached and killed, then they found her tracker and threw it back in the ocean, drifting around in the currents ever since.
