I remember your thread about this from a few months back. This does not change that crabs are AWESOME. Perhaps we should rename this as a decapod thread, specifically?

now that I think about it, I do remember seeing that thread. +1 to Risus for hilarious poster.
I don't know exactly how I would react if I saw a coconut crab in person.
Pictures are one thing, but I'd probably get the willies.
I have to remind myself to actually put posters up around my school come springtime and blame the biology department.

If it wouldn't give me hives running from my belly button to my cheeks, I'd be down too.
I like hermit crabs, they make fun pets.

We had a few of them when I was growing up...One of them was actually very playful, and loved to dance to music.
Holy shit, this thread blew up.
I was just making a bad joke suggesting crabby people will get eaten by the creature in the OP, but this is cool too.

That was one awesome series.
Pity it ended so soon.

Why don't you watch all 9 episodes and decide for yourself.

Because I'm not from the US :argh!:
I'll have to find it elsewhere I guess.

Good luck. Torrents, I guess?
You get those where you're from, right?
Yes, but I have to sacrifice a goat, and stand, holding my laptop, facing west.
You forgot praying to John Frum to send the Cargo!

The gentle cuttlefish!
Man seeks a good time, but he is not a hedonist. He seeks love! He just doesn't know where to look. He looks under the beds of whores and in the hot stem of a crack pipe. He should look to nature! Gentle aquatic mammals have all the answers!
Cuttlefishes are SO CUTE.
I want to keep one in my shirt pocket and take it out, pet it, and show it to people from time to time. Then I could die happy.

just too fucking cool to eat IMO. If I hadn't been inked in the face by an octopus once, Id probably feel the same about them. after that, those fuckers are on my list of food forever.
