    I came out of the water in Malibu once after a lobster dive, and found a PETA pamphlet about lobsters on my car windshield! It gave all kinds of information about how scientists have supposedly "proven" that lobsters display a high degree of associative learning, have memories and highly developed nervous systems, and essentially are just a step below a UCLA professor in terms of basic intelligence. It went into great detail about exactly what they feel when plunged into boiling water, and even when handled roughly.

    I couldn't help but wonder how the lobsters managed to communicate this to them. Had they actually managed to teach some crustaceans how to SPEAK?

    In any case, I was so impressed with the elemental brain power of my freshly-caught bugs that I went home and tried to teach them to talk. Didn't work. No matter how hard I tried, damn things wouldn't say a word.

    So I ate them for dinner.

    They were delish.

    I love it! I have to say that I find some irony in the fact that the lobsters in the photo above are both using...butter knives!

    If lobsters can fight with knives they've got to be smarter than dolphins. No doubt about it.

    I'm eating dolphin tomorrow night.

    Yikes...so Cody, you base your dining decisions on intelligence level of the animal?

    Stoopid people take note...and RUN!

    A stab at the location where the tail joins the shell is suppose to kill the bug. At least according to a recipe I use baked stuff lobster. I've done it before boiling one it still emitted a shrieking noise because its air escaping from their bodies. Getting dropped into boiling water is a better fate then what awaited the pigs that a farmer who had family next door to me way back in the 50's brought to diner . He'd bring 2 pigs to his brothers house in the spring and slaughter them. The word slaughter is an understatement for what happened to those pigs. It was noisy,smelly and bloody. Never did like to be there for it but that's how things were back then.

    It is a paradoxical truth that tax rates are too high and tax revenues are too low and the soundest way to raise the revenues in the long run is to cut the rates now ... Cutting taxes now is not to incur a budget deficit, but to achieve the more prosperous, expanding economy which can bring a budget surplus."
