Lovely picture! Either I don’t get the meme part or I can’t find Saddam.

The meme is that there is no meme, and the picture is just doctored - the sun doesn’t follow that pattern at all…

Just the one turtle. Well, at least per world. I guess two, it you drop off the edge while they’re mating.

And there’s four elephants down there, too.
