Allow me to introduce evil to you.

My boss has two pet turtles. She was away for the week and asked me to take care of them. One got out of her tank and hid under a chair and then when I picked her up she hissed and flailed her claws and tried to kill me. So I lobbed her into the tank and ran for my life, stopping in the kitchen to wipe the evil off my hands. One of my coworkers got the interaction on cell phone video.

There is a debate going on at my work about two things. 1. Whether or not these turtles are adorable and great pets. 2. Whether I abused the turtle by, um, hurling her into the tank when I thought she was going to kill me. Check out the (really bad) video and see what you think. And while you're at it, go ahead and take a hard look into the beady eyes of my reptilian nemesis, and see if she doesn't send a shiver straight down your back.
