New York Aquarium Features 18-Pound Lobster
By Robert Paul Reyes
"Officials at the New York Aquarium said they have acquired a gargantuan 18-pound lobster from a seafood company worker who decided not to cook the crustacean." - UPI
The 75-year-old crustacean deserves to live out the rest of his years basking in the adulation of the visitors to the New York Aquarium.
A crustacean does have a certain charisma, especially when he's smothered in butter and served on a plate. I bet a lot of the visitors will go straight from the aquarium to the nearest Red Lobster restaurant.
If the lobster "disappears" from the aquarium, I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up in the pot of an aquarium employee.
