3. Any lobster that gets that big deserves to be left alone.

I say release him back into the wild.

19. Is he bigger than

Homer Simpson's lobster, Pinchy?

[tigereye]

22. actually the article said he was only 30

huge article in the Pgh paper, where I live. It went on and on, including commnents from the "Fish Empathy" wing of PETA. They finally sent said lobster to the local zoo and then he'll go to some Ripley's exhibit in Canada. You know news is lacking when this is a big story.
