On Wednesday, tragedy struck Las Tortugas de Jesus, a sea turtle sanctuary in Akumal, Mexico, just south of Cancun. A vacationing 16-year-old teen entered the endangered terrapins' safe haven and began jumping on top the nesting reptiles with both feet. 34 turtles were killed in th rampage, and 15 more were wounded. The perpetrator was uninjured.


"Life is like a videogame," the teenager reportedly said before being dragged away by local police. "If I hadn't jumped on those turtles, they would've sprouted wings and could've kidnapped the princess. What then, huh? HUH?!"

Not sure how you wouldn't immediatly assume it was an April Fools joke. I scrolled halfway down and the first thing I read was "They would have sprouted wings and kidnapped the princess! What then huh?!? HUH!?!?"

He then ran in a straight line down the sidewalk, eating mushrooms and flowers, and throwing fireballs on the way.
