You got it! Have to be particular with word choice when you're limited to just 6, so many fishy stories out there.

 
{#Cheers} Yeah, that was pretty brilliant. It's my favorite novel, but I couldn't have captured it so well it in six words like that.

Interesting study; they should've broken down the vehicle type among those who deliberately hit the animals - the results would probably be less surprising than the animal types.

GoW 
As you can see, I didn't use the turtle imagery.
