This, for some reason, has bugged me for 2 days. A little kid asked me if a turtle had no shell would it be naked, or homeless? The more I think about it, I don't have an answer. Building a pc has stressed my mind, I suppose.

Any opinions (about the turtle) ?

A turtle with no shell would be dead, seeing as it's part of its skeleton. That's just my guess.

I tend to believe it would be homeless. Since we consider all animals naked to start with.

If you want to push it, you could say it is now both Naked and Homeless.

A turtle shell without a turtle could be just a nice meal.

Depends on your point of view.
If you see the turtle on Disney it is homeless.
If you see the turtle on National Geographic it is naked.
