Lobsters are the cockraoches of the sea ... they're sea-cockroaches!

I love lobster... boiled with melted butter... but any lobster that has lived 100 years should be allowed to live out the rest of his life in peace

Yes, now if you could just explain that to the individuals I come into contact with that don’t believe that very idea.

Would you eat a creature as badly mutated as King Lobster here?
I wonder what the pincer-strength is like ...

This informative article should help.

Are lobsters and crabs related? They're both crustaceans, right? And a crustacean, I'll bet, is just a big ol' bug that lives in the ocean. I hate creepy crawlies, no matter where on Earth they are. Creepy crawlies, I respect your right to exist just as long as you stay the hell away from me ...

Biologists at the Huntsman Marine Science Center report that after some initial problems, Dee-Dee appears to be doing well in her new home.
Initially, the animal exhibited symptoms of severe depression, but these disappeared when the seawater in her tank was replaced with Molsen's.
Due to her advanced age, she experienced difficulties with locomotion, but she has subsequently been provided with an underwater snowmobile.
There was some initial difficulty in determining the proper water temperature, but these problems were resolved by providing the animal with sealskin mucklucs.
She appears to have developed a romantic attachment to a hockey puck which was discovered in her tank after a three day weekend. So far, attempts to remove the hockey puck using a curling broom have been unsuccessful.
There was tremendous concern among the staff when the animal refused to eat, until biologists from Edmondton suggested dropping perogies into her tank.
