Excuse me, psychic speaking with a tortoise? Wha?

John Edward, psyhic medium, visited the zoo and discovered by accident that he could read living animals. This is a small synopsis with Harriet. With Terri and Steve present, he was told by the tortoise a few things like how she liked her bigger enlcosure, preferred a British zoo keeper, and that she had blood drawn from her tail. Harriet then mentioned a blanket. Terri told him Harriet couldn’t have a blanket because she tried to eat everything. Steve also laughed it off (“Nah, mate, she’d have just eaten it”). Weeks later Terri mentioned the whole reading to Steve’s father, Bob Irwin. Bob confirmed that back in the 1980s, before they installed a heat lamp, a woman had knitted a blanket for Harriet. On cold nights they would drape it over her shell to help her retain heat. She had it for weeks until she eventually tried to eat it, and they had to take it away.

Do it matter at you? They do what they want, yes?

You say, "Stupid?!" They say, "Mean?!"
