A Chinese girl was lost her memory and had to be taken to hospital after she was hit on the head by a pregnant tortoise.
Cheng Cheng, 12, was walking with her aunt Ling Lang at Chongqing in China when she was struck by the plummeting tortoise. Lang said: 'I was walking and suddenly I heard a scream from my niece who was behind me and I looked round to see her lying on the ground covered with blood. 'There was a tortoise lying beside her and I could see it had hit her on the head.'
The owner of a grocery store who witnessed the incident said they saw the girl was hit by a falling black object travelling at speed and fell onto the ground unconscious. When he ran over, he realised the object was a tortoise. The local children's hospital said Cheng Cheng was diagnosed with concussion, and was awake and conscious but very quiet. Doctor Zhuo Xuan said: 'She does not have any memory of what happened to her or anything about her. We believe the amnesia will only be short lived but at the moment she can't remember anything.'

My sister was bitten by a flying tortoise. But only once.
Super Mario was unavailable for comment.
She’s lucky.
And I thought I had missed..........
Ooooh! Ow! Yuck!
That must have bled like a sumbitch.
I just took a look at the pic - wow, that IS a nasty cut!
This sounds purely mythical, but apparently it is true that eagles sometimes pick up tortoises and drop them on rocks to break their shells.
Ah, my FRiend — the Witch Doctor.
Reminds me of the classic “ WKRP Turkey Drop”

I forwarded this story to my sister. Hopefully she’ll quit bellyaching about getting bit by a moose.
LOL! Now that song is stuck in my head!
I’m guessing that aunty ate the turtle and that is how she found out the turtle had eggs.
I remember that!! It was hilarious!
Uh-oh, I hate when that happens. I wasn’t sure anyone would know what song I was talking about.
Yes, that’s the one! I only heard the ching chang walla-bing-bang part in my head and couldn’t remember the song, but that’s it.
If this turns out to be a viable way to put an end to the Government Marxist Party, I’m all for dropping a few turtles on the heads of state or is that heads of statists? and other elites who could use with a loss of ideology and put a stop to this madness. Oooops, I see the Veep already has had a treatment but it doesn’t appear to have worked on him regarding the Russians or basically any other discussion of policy. Oh, well. Keep looking for a solution.
Wow, talk about wrong time wrong place. Ouch!
