Tis artwork done of Hindu mythology where the Earth rests on the back of four elephants who are in turn resting on the back of a giant turtle. I'm not sure where it originally all started but there are many similar myths about turtles/tortoises and the Earth.

Completely off-topic, but: Horus, the quote in your sig is actually from John Basil Barnhill.

.... It's Turtles all the way down....
*let go and wander off*
In the Arena of Logic, I fight unarmed.
Uh, that picture is from the Discworld novels by Terry Pratchett. He parodies the Hindu mytheme of the world resting atop the back of a elephant on the back of a turtle or tortoise. The discworld turtle is called Great A'Tuin.
The difference is the number of elephants and the source material, really.
I'll go be a pedant somewhere else now.

Hello and Welcome to C! True Paragon Stories!
Today we tell the story of:
Private Slacker!
Military Tree Rat
Private Slacker was born to Lieutenant Will B. A. Slacker and Sergeant Mary A. Slacker. The exact date of his birth is unknown because neither parent wrote it down.
"Wait. We had a kid?" Lieutenant Slacker fondly recalled, "Seriously?"
Private moved around a lot as a kid, following his parents with every move the military ordered. Sometimes they even left him a bus ticket so he wouldn't have to hitchhike.
Brother Nature
During one of those hitchhiking trips to get back to his parents, Private Slacker ran afoul of several vicious squirrels. They attacked little private, and left deep scars all over his body.
They captured Private and carried him to the Squirrel King. The Squirrel King informed Slacker that he had trespassed onto sacred squirrel ground. He offered the young boy two choices, glory in the name of a all squirrels... or death.
Slacker, being rather intelligent, chose glory. The Squirrel King granted him great powers in the name of the great squirrel god.
A Dangerous Tail
Catgirls, Mercenaries and Squirrels clashed in the streets and trees of Paragon City. Martial law was declared until the military, working with Private Slacker, drove the bounty hunters out. Without the assistance of such men, the Catgirls soon retreated to empty dumpsters to growl and lick their wounds.
Slowly, the city grew accustomed to their new squirrel saviors.
"He's ok, I guess." Azuria informed us, "Couldn't be worse than those catgirls. Now where did I put my wand?"
Fur the Greater Good.
Private Slacker now helps the good and evil alike with his many squirrel minions. His story of triumph has attracted other squirrels to the good city, including the distinguished Dr. Squirrelpants. Slacker remains vigilant though, knowing that any manner of creatures may rise up to challenge his power.

Hello and Welcome to C! True Paragon Stories!
Today we tell the story of:
Cherry!
Budding
Apple and Grape had been seeing each other for some time when Apple found that she would be fruitful and multiply. Grape wasn't happy with the surprise, and after much whining and complaining, Apple kicked him out. She kept the baby, though, and three seasons later, Cherry was born!
Sprouting Up
Things went well for Cherry growing up. Without the bad influences of Grape and his bunch, she didn't give her mother any trouble. Cherry's happy life continued until her mother started hitting the sauce.
"Things were difficult, for sure." Her old neighbor, Watermelon, told us, "Apple would come home at all hours, her skin faded and even peeled."
Knowing it wouldn't be long before the rot set it, Cherry confronted her mother and told her to clean up her act. They had a huge fight, Apple against Cherry, Cherry against apple. Eventually, the young Cherry convinced Apple to change her ways.
Cherry Blossoms
Cherry and her friend Strawberry joined the Incredible League of Formidable Fruit when they turned sixteen. They learned the secret power of all fruit, trained day and night to become the best of the best. Their future was looking very bright. They impressed their classmates as well as their instructors.
Then disaster struck. A training exercise went horribly wrong when one of the obstacle course frames collapsed, trapping Cherry and severely injuring her friend.
Pulp of Power
Cherry found an amazing strength while buried under that rubble. She lifted the entire contraption up and rescued poor Strawberry. She was the hero of the Formidable Fruit.
Her powers only increased from that day. She was something special. Her teachers encouraged her to leave the league and to travel to a place where people needed her powers. Armed with a case of cupcakes and some bikini wax, she set out in search of her destiny.
Frosting on the Cake
Cherry ended up in Paragon City, fighting crime and boredom wherever she goes. She told us she misses Apple and Strawberry, but she wouldn't leave her new life for anything.

Rofl. Great job, Ashcraft.
Cherry, you should go visit Apple and Strawberry once in a while. I'm sure they miss you too.
I don't know which is the more formidable weapon, the cupcakes or the bikini wax...

You, sir, are hilarious.
