Can't speak for RIO, but I have six friends under orders to beat me with baseball bats should I ever so much as speak "the M word".

Yep, I asked her the Friday after Thanksgiving.

We aren't doing the wedding until 2010 though so it is still a long way off.

I found this free link on a Yahoo search.

Thanks for posting the free link! That's so cool! I'm wondering what biological processes are going on that would account for the three fully functional claws where there should only be one? I'm going to do some research, I'll keep you posted if I find anything neat.

I don't know if anyone is still interested, but I did some looking into this.
It looks like limbs can regenerate in multiples occasionally after an injury. I found an article for multiple-legged frogs, though the author is trying to sell the point that they're actually a higher evolved species of frog. Maybe it's trying to become a freakish new species of lobster with three times the pinching power! In that case, maybe you won't have to hold your breath for multiple tails.
...or it could be the Springfield Power plant and a genetic boo-boo

C'mon now, don't call it a boo-boo! Finding multi-tailed lobsters near the nuke plant would be called serendipity and another good reason to Go Nuclear!
