News flash: Lobsters like rocks

[Green_Manelishi]

In fact, lobster traps are designed that way!

I know. It'd be the end of the industry if they weren't.

Actually what Im finding out Lobstaman is that many scientists exist off grant money and do all sorts of odd things to generate a grant.

Oh, I'm sure they do. Sometimes I can't help myself...poking fun at things like this. Sometimes real smart folks let science get in the way of common sense.

Toilet bowls:klo: ......there's just something about eating a lobster that has been living in an old john that doesn't sit quite right with me. I'll stick to the ones living under rocks.

You know, when I'm eating an animal that communicates with it's peers by peeing out of it's face at them, What it might have been hiding under is not a big concern.

Bottom dwelling scavengers is what they are ... but melted butter hides the taste of what they ate.

Hmmm are we the pot or kettle today. I seem to think I am also a bottom dwelling scavenger, or is it noble hunter of the great clawed beast.

Ummm....Let's just say I knew a sailor who found a way to collect a 2-3 lb'er everywhere he moored up for the night along the Maine coast. He would drop it over after dinner and pull it up in the morning. Never failed to get a nice lobster. It was small enough to store on-board, used no bait and was easy to clean.

I would tell you more but it worked so well that I am tempted to recreate it in mass quantities and that would be illegal. I'm trying to save you from the same dilemma :no

Matt, stop it! You're ruining it for me! I've heard of potty mouth, but that's ridiculous.

I've heard of potty mouth, but that's ridiculous.

It's not really the mouth, but more like the cheeks if I recall correctly. At any rate there's a gland or two in the face area that the lobster can use to express fluid waste with scents added that can signal readiness to mate, etc.

Personally, I prefer a glass of wine and some romantic music, but to each it's own.

Oh, the piss greetings and all other types of delightful social quirks are described in Trevor Corson's "Secret Life of Lobsters" if you haven't read it yet...
