They're called coconut crabs, and live on various islands in the Indian Ocean.
(Making note: "Will never visit islands in the Indian Ocean.")

6. Holy Crap

I did not realize they got that big. It would be cool to have a few to roam around the back yard and take care of the crab grass!

10. There's a story from Tahiti.....

A young man riding a motorcycle around the island (the road circles the land)was taking a turn and fell over. He was alive but injured. When he was discovered all that was left of him where shredded clothes and bones in a crowd of Coconut Crabs.
