Obviously you aren't familiar with the Celest sewer system.

... they did? I am pretty sure that is Guadiguch.

Mm. Could be either. Hallifax's scientific nature might've led them to realise mutation is just change, and change is good as it diversifies and leads evolution. Gaudiguch might think mutation is good because they were drunk and partying when some random beggar said it in his moment of wisdom. Everyone from Gaudiguch, being drunk party animals, took the sentence to heart and started preaching it.

Also, I think as much that was going to come from this thread came and went ages ago. Think it's time to wrap it up.

They werent all drunken buggers.. some of them were really scholarly and then there was the Xiim guy..and the party-goers

Celestian sewers suck.. and Merian poo is ultra stinky. No self-respecting Ninja turtle would live there. They're clearly tainted.. and you just can't admit it Narsrim.

What's so amazing about really deep thoughts?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Dammit why wasn't there a bonecrusher turtle, michelangelo was close to bonecrusher but not quite.

I know, i'll customise my hammers to look like nunchucks!

I want to be Razar

No, switch to Blademaster: Swordchucks, yo!
