Leroy? I thought it was Larry the Lobster. From PEI.

That would be Lester the lobster from PEI. And ugly little bugger with a beady little eye. He can tackle anything up to twice his size.

I stand corrected. O the embarrassment.
Now I think about it, Larry the Lobster was on that episode of Saturday Night Live where you could call in and tell them whether you wanted the lompster to live or die. He lived.

Is the lobster made of metal? How would it react to a magnet?

Eekacat, I'm just one lowly mitten.
And ROU, it's Bud the Spud from the bright red Mud, isn't it?

Awesome.
To answer the author's question ("Can lobsters be tacks?"), the answer is yes. You really have to press them incredibly hard into the corkboard, but it does sort of work, mostly.

And I didn't know this about lobsters, although I had heard this is true of spiders -- that they don't have the same kind of cellular-level selfdestruct mechanisms that we do, so if they were kept safe from disease etc they could live forever. Shudder.
(But how irritating is it that the song and the science are trampled over by the interviewer's eagerness to say the phrase "but so theoretically, you know, we just don't know how big they could get, right? nudge? buddy?" over and over. Attention science journalists and nonfiction writers: science is already interesting. Just tell us about it and let its intrinsic interest shine through. Stop pasting your tacky-ass Personality Sparkles all over it. )
