May 26 2009Not Surprised: Ninja Turtle Notoriety Charts
I can honestly say I'm surprised the numbers for renaissance artists aren't even lower. Because one time when I was substitute teaching for a class of fourth graders I asked who sculpted David and the only response was from a girl who asked if that was the one with the penis. I said yes and then they all started chanting I was gay.
Ninja Turtles [xkcd]
Thanks Andrew, who once cowabunga'ed two chicks at once in the Party Wagon.

I always said that Dante was not famous because there wasn't a Ninja Turtle named after him.
14. Heather - May 26, 2009 1:22 PM

::giggle:: GW said "penis!"
15. Heather - May 26, 2009 1:23 PM
BTW, that's not David's penis, it's Goliath's drink stirrer.

Wait, so if the turtles are named after famous artists, what the hell is a Krang?

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wring.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max drugged Baja, and was railing her in the stinker. Baja started accumulating lube in her colon, and asked Max to stop for a minute. Max told her he was an alien, and the anal probe couldn't wait. At that moment, Baja sneezed, and shot a stream of lube out her ass, proving Newton's third law of motion, for every action there's an equal and opposite reaction.

hahaha thanks for posting man. I remember learning that the turtles were artists long ago hahahaha, but things have a way of dimming and fading the memory. Screw the haters. This is the first time I had seen this, so I sent it in. And you're goddamn right about the cowabunga my friend....*sigh* cowabunga
29. Sam - May 27, 2009 5:09 AM

30. Daisy - May 27, 2009 8:11 AM
Daisy, you are gods gift to geekologie. every now and then I start to think you're running out of good material like the simpsons, and then you post something like that.... so beautiful
31. Poopy - May 27, 2009 9:41 AM
@29, yeah honestly... This is over 2 years old and there are way better and more relevant xkcd comics.
That said, xkcd has really jumped the shark in the past little while and isn't what it used to be.
32. Cap'n Jack - May 27, 2009 7:37 PM
@31 XKCD jumped the shark? That's crazy talk.
