Why did the turtle cross the road?

It’s too ridiculous to not be true.

[Sen. Tom] Coburn [R-OK] also criticized a $3.4 million Florida Department of Transportation project for an “eco-passage” – an underground wildlife road crossing for turtles and other wildlife in Lake Jackson, Fla., along U.S. 27.

“Why did the turtle cross the road? To get to the other side of a stimulus project,” the Coburn report says.

Josh Boan, the Florida Transportation Department’s natural resources manager, said a large number of turtles and other wildlife are killed in the area. In addition to protecting wildlife, he said the project is needed for safety: turtles hit by vehicles can become flying projectiles.

When I lived in Florida I was constantly fearing death by flying turtles.
