tmnt part deux.

i have been asked to briefly share my thoughts on splinter...i believe splinter to be a happy medium of pat morita and yoda. if i remember correctly he was once human and somehow was transformed into a rather large rat. not sure how i feel about all of that. although i was a little frightened by his disturbingly long and bony fingers as a child, splinter captured my heart when he took in the four orphaned baby turtles as they hatched from thier eggs. under all of that wisdom and somewhat questionalable hygiene lies a father figure with a huge heart. here's an ice cream cone for you splinter! i would like to know his age and why he didn't eat more cheese though. i mean, i love cheese and i'm not even a rat. hmm?
