I happen to have a friend who did just that - and died because of turtle shells (bear with me). He always had been kind of a weirdo, short stature, really anachronistic facial hair ('80s kinda guy). He also was doing drugs constantly, 'shrooms for most of the time and let me tell you, it certainly showed. Over time, he became convinced that someone was trying to kidnap his girlfriend. Yeah, I know. Anyway, after some time he started driving to some weird places in town (never actually found out where he went) and brought back turtle shells (he insisted that they were just there sitting around on the street). Also - this is where it gets really weird - he started throwing those shells out of his vehicle at other people INCLUDING FRIENDS AND FAMILY. Needless to say, they would not have it. He was killed in the '90s on Rainbow Road by his brother Luigi. May he rest in peace.

I ran over a turtle today, while saving its mate from being driven over. I didn't see her on the side of the road. She TOTALLY did not have any treasure inside her. :'(

There weren't even any gold pieces so they're worth less than slimes are, speaking from a treasure grinding perspective.

Turtle meat is a culinary treasure. Nothing mysterious about that.

Ugh I was hoping to never hear of this again.. The last time was a "daily awful link" from Somethingawful.com years ago..

There is an actual forum where people kill turtles because they think they hold gems or something shit. W T F.

Hmmm, i saw a turtle with a shell about 2.5 feet wide and 3 feet long the other day. Probably a shitload of treasure in him.

when i was in high school, we had a pet turtle in one of the the science class rooms. every school holidays somebody took the turtle home to look after it. so once, the teacher gave the turtle to the retarded kid. she takes is home and it never comes back. the teacher told us one day when she wasn't in class, that she had removed the turtle from it's shell "to clean it".
