Stalk-eyed decapod crustaceans of the family Homaridae





I'm talking 'bout lobster. These ones are fresh from the shores of Massachusetts. (Thanks mom.) By the way, lobsters have no cerebral cortex. For humans, that's the part of the brain that processes pain. They don't have vocal cords either. Lobsters do not scream when you drop them into the pot.








They turn red because that's the only pigment not destroyed when they're cooked.

And...they are DE-LICIOUS!






How to crack a Lobster

One additional, and kind of gross, lobster fact: their teeth are in their stomach.

  1. Lobsters are rad. I'm glad to hear that they feel no pain so I don't have to feel guilty eating them.

  2. You don't. Lobsters want us to eat them.

    It's really boring at the bottom of the sea.
