Alright, alright. I may have made some claims along the line that Grimm is a genetically-altered superturtle from Mars. Specifically, at a paleoanthropological excavation site in a crater called Olduvai. Those of you who remember the DOOM movie are probably going, “DUH. He only grew up there.”
Olduvai
Well, Grimm didn’t even grow up on Mars. I have lied to you all. But did you know there’s actually an Olduvai on Earth? WOWEE. I found this out completely by accident. This is Olduvai Gorge and the really awesome part is that it’s one of the most important paleoanthropological sites in the world. Coincidence? I think not.
The REAL Olduvai
But Grimm isn’t from here, either. This Olduvai is actually in the Serengeti Plains in Tanzania. Bones and Grimm are, in reality, from the States. Or possibly Mexico. But probably somewhere in the southern States, which is kind of awesome for Bones, as he can now officially be from Georgia. Grimm’s not so happy about that; I think he wanted to be from California.
Coincidentally, this puts me closer to growing up on Mars than Grimm. There is a Kamloops Crater on Mars. Yes, I am from Kamloops. Yes, I know that’s a terrible name for a city. The best part is that we’re right beside a giant crater that looks like a happy face, which is very appropriate because we are Canadian. :)
So, hopefully everybody learned some cool stuff about Mars. Namely, that turtles don’t really come from there.

After-note: I remembered a few hours after I wrote this which animals DO come from mars. Mice. Evidently I just got them confused with turtles.
