  • Very neat indeed, but can someone explain their eyes to me? I am searching for a biologial analogy for them, but I am at a loss. Are they just pads with a zillion light sensors on them...?

  • Nice post crabby.
  • Twould explain the irritability.
  • Tasty little buggers, crabs. and there's tons of spectacular photograhpy at Pbase, boids, for example. Ta, Chy!
  • "Are they just pads with a zillion light sensors on them...?" Compound eyes, yeah, I think. Like the eyes of the Praying Mantis, they always look like there's a pupil staring in your direction; I think it's some kind of shadow, or you're seeing the refraction of light in the interior, or something. I dunno, I've always assumed it was something like that. I expect caution live frogs or someone with biology smarts to give us the good guts on that.
  • On quick research - yeah it's some form of optical illusion due to the facets in the teeny tiny light sensors all over surface. IF that's what you're referring to.
  • up the beach the crabby creep and fasten on me like a leech leggo my toes! leggo that finger! must I invite ye home for dinner?
  • I was actually all souped up for a story about pubic lice, so here's an offering.
  • That's not a soup I'd care to sup no matter how ye spice it up.
  • Those are some beautiful pictures, especially the "Paddling" silhouette. RPB, that's a hell of a story. Sounds more like bedbugs than crabs tho'.
  • Gah, RPM, that is.

  • I saw "I Got Crabs", and thought...yep, I'm not surprised.... Then I read the link.... good job.
  • bedbugs, crabs, giant sloths... What next!
  • Trill- o'-bites ... always, on MoFi ...
  • Trial by Bites.
  • They're ADORABLE! There was an Abbey family in our neighborhood; their mailbox bore their last name and the Dad's initials: "K.R.ABBEY."
  • Yea, Bob. I was quite surprised also. I thought for sure it would be the lye and metal brush for our Chy. Who would have known he had a soft spot for crabs?
  • Who doesn't? Mmmmhhh, crabs...
  • I was itching so bad last week I thought I caught crabs so I went to the clinic. The doctor there shakes her head and tells me, "Don't worry about it, it's just Alaska Pollock."
  • Bad jokes make me crabby.
  • Well, at least I avoided the outright pun and went with the subtle pun - not naming anyone in particular, GramMo.
  • HEY! Watch it, Chimpy. You'll go straight to 'eel for sassin' yer GramMo. At least I'm not floundering around trying to get in a bunch of lame puns just for the halibut.
