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.'

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.Go easy on the tortoise, okay? The poor thing is a pregnant single mom, and was just trying to get a little cash so her little tortoise babies would get a decent start in life.
PING, but I forget why.

Sounds like the opening of one of Sir Terence David John Pratchett’s Disc World books, Small Gods.
