Some thinkers believe that it (the sex has not yet been determined) is moving through the universe at a constant pace (the 'steady gait' theory), while others believe that many turtles are heading for the same place where there will be a unique cosmic mating followed by the birth of further turtles. This is known as the big bang theory. Steve (Sodomy non sapiens) South
