SYNOPSIS
The Academy-Award nominated animated short-film tells the story of a lonely inventor, whose colorless existence is brightened only by dreams of the carefree bliss of his youth. By day, he is trapped in a dehumanizing job in a joyless world. But by night, he tinkers away on a visionary invention, desperate to translate his inspiration into something meaningful. When his invention is complete, it will change the way people see the world. But he will find that success comes at a high price, as it changes himself, as well.

It was just today (June 25th 2012) that "Lonesome George" the last of his species , "Pinta Island Turtoise" died and left behind a legacy of himself as the last turtle of this type.
He was believed to be over 100 years old and was kept since 1971 and here is a picture of him with his all time caretaker.
 You can check his Wikipedia page and read more about him ; but in the meantime this is the change in his page within the last few days.

Goodbye dear George and we all should be more cautions about what's happening in the world and to our own future in this once and yet beautiful planet.
