  • With no humans around this lobster would live and reproduce taking the specie to the next level… Now she'll probably make fatter an already fat man.

  • SNL 1978 (Man #2 is Belushi)— Man #2: Listen, I have a plan. It sounds crazy but it just might work. I'll need boiling water.  Man #1: Boiling water? How much? A couple gallons?  Man #2: No! Millions of gallons! Enough to fill - fill Central Park Pond. And I'll need a truckload of butter. Make - make that drawn butter.  Man #1: [writes it down] One truckload, drawn butter. Check.  Man #2: And baked potatoes the size of boxcars. And lobster bibs.  Man #1: Lobster bibs? [The final credits begin to roll.] You mean ordinary lobster bibs?  Man #2: No! Huge lobster bibs, fifteen by twenty feet at least. And nutcrackers!  Man #1: Nut—? You mean regular nutcrackers?  Man #2: No! Not at all. Enormous nutcrackers, at least ten feet long. And lemons the size of golf carts!  Man #1: Check, check. How 'bout some sour cream for those potatoes?  Man #2: Good point! I'll need, say, about a moving van of sour cream. For dessert, a chocolate mousse as big as a house.

  • It takes 5-7 years for a lobster to grow a pound. This lobster is roughly 160 years old. It's earned its right tossed back in.
