    Are they hungry and ornery turtles? I think it would be hard to feed that many without an infinite sack of food.

    deja vu... I swear this conversation has already happened on this site...but there is no history of any other threads of stacks of turtles.

    I swear Abbey said something about feeding the turtles to themselves...but I can't find it.

    wth?? Am I being crazy right now?

    I was about to say that the entire stack of turtles should have smashed you by now, but on further consideration, it's more likely that your rolling over will fail to disturb most of those turtles; only a few miles of them will actually fall. You might find it a bit uncomfortable having a few miles of turtles fall on you.

    Also, nearly all of those turtles are already dead due to the lack of oxygen in space, and the ones that are still alive (other than the ones within the Earth's atmosphere) would have already fallen off your back onto the surface of the nearest planet by now. If your turtles have been eating each other as well, you might only have a hundred or so left, so rolling over might not even be a big deal.

    Well, I was going to type you as a SEE, but then you just had to post this well thought out analysis.

    As infinity is unbounded, it doesn't matter how many turtles eat other turtles, you still have infinite turtles, right? :/
