Using gigantic scissors for ribbon cutting at opening ceremonies has been CANCELLED. We must embrace societal progress and do cool things like invite a tortoise friend to bite through a ribbon of leaves, as was done by a biological sciences laboratory at the University of Lincoln.

This is the kind of whimsical stuff that makes life fun

This brought a huge smile to my face.

I gotta tell you. I love this!

That tortoise looks so HAPPY

I say we do this Groundhog Day style, and if the tortoise refuses to bite the leaves, the structure is cancelled and we have to tear the whole thing down.

The alt-txt! 😭😭😭
