Never before revealed.

It all began in the term 3 holidays of 2007, after the release of Littlekuribohs "Mariks Evil Council of Doom". Elsie was somewhat obsessed, particularly with Zombie Boys line "Brains." Subtitled as "I like Turtles.

At that weeks Stalin Party, Upon multiple rewatchings of Heroes with Lilly, Noodle and Banana, Elsie drew inevitable comparisons with Zombie boy and Sylar, due to their similar affinity for Brains, and concluded that Sylars affection for brains was attributed to his love for turtles....or something like that. Kinda fuzzy on the specifics.

After a hasty doodle of Sylar quoting Zombie boy(since lost), along with the inexplicable subtitle,  Sylars irrevocable bond with turtles of all kinds was formed.

The portmanteau of Syturtle was born soon after, and the rest, they say, is history.

Or art, actually, because I'm pretty sure thats where they first drew the clock-adorned reptile.

Clearly, one of us possesses the latent power to implant ideas into the minds of TV show writers over large distances, for one very magnificent turtle has now taken to the spotlight in Heroes.

As Romans banana so eloquently puts it, "We so called this shit."

Indeed.
