Too cool :dazzler1: Think he liked the metallic shimmer, the moving hands or the sound???

(I know nothing about lobsters!)

Not a Rolex but tells the time, thought the lobser..........

For a second there I thought they bagged the lobster for dinner. But I'm not sure how well he'll like passing the time in a tank - watch or no watch.

Hmmmm I would have rather seen them take a picture of the lobster and then leaving him there..... of course not disclosing the excact location. Keeping him safe there for at least a little while.

 

[CHUD]

Agreed. They should have left the lobster on watch over his watch and just watched him.

why couldn't they just have left the lobster alone? how is it better off in an aquarium?

hmmm... on second thought, maybe this way it won't get
caught and eaten... plus, lobsters are not exactly Einstein.
it probably doesn't even know it's in captivity.

I expect it would have been pretty much impossible to keep a lid on the location of such a lobster.

I would imagine the critter has more tank space than his normal range anyway.
