This picture actually has something to do with a debate between Bertrand Russell and a lady. The lady stated that since we do not actually know that we aren't living on a turquoise's back, it must be true. The story can be found on the first few pages of Steven Hawking's A brief history of Time.

The more you know!

Excerpt from A Brief History of Time:
"A well-known scientist (some say it was Bertrand Russell) once gave a public lecture on astronomy. He described how the earth orbits around the sun and how the sun, in turn, orbits around the center of a vast collection of stars called our galaxy. At the end of the lecture, a little old lady at the back of the room got up and said: "What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise." The scientist gave a superior smile before replying, "What is the tortoise standing on?" "You're very clever, young man, very clever," said the old lady. "But it's turtles all the way down!"
