# 7 La Fiesta de las Tortugas! (The Turtle Fiesta)

My holiday would be called "La Fiesta de las Tortugas."  In other words, it is a holiday all about turtles!  It's time to pay devotion to those wierd green things people walk right past at the zoo.  The holiday originated in Mexico where they started placing bets on racing turtles.  It was then that they realized how fascinating of a creature a turtle was.  The newly found turtle love eventually made it's way on over to the United States! YAY, NOW WE CAN PARTY WITH THE TURTLES! It is tradition to give all your friends a small turtle-related knick-knack (whoa two compound words!) as a present on Turtle Day.  La Fiesta de las tortugas is known for its amazing foods.  Whether it be Turtle Ice cream or turtle chocolates or even turtle soup, you'll certainly fill up your tummy.  A few years back, a few avid turtle enthusiasts tried to free all of the turtles at the San Diego Zoo.  Although their efforts were hopeful, they did not succeed. They had to spend the night in jail.  Even though it was slightly controversial, it was a huge step in the turtles' fight for freedom.  The two turtle enthusiasts eventually became the head chairs of the committee on La fiesta de las tortugas.  Karma is sweet.

#6 The Ugly Car Law

Attention Americans! Just now inside the White House a new law has been created. The “Ugly Car Law” makes it illegal for Americans to now purchase the absolutely putrid Honda Element. Reasoning behind lawmakers’ new plan include how the box shape makes the car extremely non aerodynamic. The way the doors open is just stupid also. Personally I’d look down upon anyone that drives this disgusting automobile. Finally, the government agrees. Now if you already own an Element (god knows why), you don’t have to worry. You will be grandfathered into this statute. Along with this, Honda can no longer produce any Elements in America. No consumer may buy one after January 1st of 2009. Failure to comply results in a six month suspension of a driver’s license for the consumer. It will also result in a steep $30,000 fine if Honda is caught producing them on American soil. Now if you feel you drive an ugly car now such as a Pontiac Aztec or a Scion you may have to worry as well. Luckily, the Aztec has already halted production.
