Yes, in Dee-Dee do! But the Big D is a male. But a very cute and Canuck kind of news report, worthy of Rick Mercer.

Dee-Dee should have a birth certificate issued from New Brunswick.

waiter, fetch me the butter

I read somewhere that lobsters mate for life and that they can indeed live up to 100 years. I have never had lobster since. Plus, aren't they bottom feeders?

Truthfully I have always found high quality crab meat to be much more delicious than lobster meat. Either way if I eat more than a small amount of crab or lobster I get a splitting headache which may or may not mean I have some sort of allergy to them. I used to eat shrimp by the pounds when I lived on the coast and they were cheap and never had any such reaction from them.

As for whether it is edible at 100 years I would think so, it is alive and kicking with its fully functioning lobster circulatory system (or what ever lobsters have) to keep the meat nice and fresh. As to the point of crustaceans eating rotten things as being a reason not to eat them, well what ever works for the individual but I know a little too much about the entire rest of the spectrum of food that we eat to let the filth of one thing (animal or plant) bother me more than any other.

By 100 year old lobster, do you mean a lobster that's lived for 100 years or a lobster that's been dead and preserved for 100 years?
The vagueness of this poll disturbs me greatly.

When I worked as a home health aide years ago. One of my patients told me about a case in Massachusetts involving an auto accident of some kind where the car and driver went off the road into the bay somewhere. Anyway when they went down to recover the wreck they saw lobsters feasting on the remains of the driver.
