Bye bye, Bubba the Giant Lobster

Evil



This is a picture of Bubba, during his better days, i.e. when we was still alive. Bubba died earlier today and in a Pittsburgh aquarium, no less. Oh, the indignity. Pittsburgh is such a slum town.

Bubba's death is not for naught though. When Bubba's capture off the coast of Nantucket first made the news, the world learned an interesting tidbit about lobsters: them critters take 5 to 7 years to grow a single pound! So when you eat a 2 pound lobster, you're chomping on a 10- to 14-year-old.

Check back here soon... no doubt, Manolo will follow this post with an in-depth analysis of the sexual behavior of lobsters.
