Bad news: Not all lobsters have pincers.
http://cbs13.com/watercooler/lobsters.pants.theft.2.838457.html

Department of Fish and Game warden Daryl Simmons says wardens arrested Chau when they noticed "odd bulges" in his pants. All six of the newspaper-wrapped lobsters were still alive and were returned to the ocean. Lobsters in the San Diego area do not have pincers.


Can we get some pincer-enabled lobsters to get jiggy down there and populate the area? :evilgrin:

1. Good thing I googled pincers.
I was going to say "It's pinchers!"

2. Spiny lobsters down in the Keys don't have them either.
Is that from a real episode of TNG or Voyager, if so which one? Deja Q?

3. TNG. Though it's obvious Q was having much more fun in "Voyager"...
:D

5. So that is actually from the Deja Q episode?
I'd like to get all the seasons and watch them in order. Haven't see them in a long time. :-)

4. a few weeks ago
They had a guy stuffing pigeons in his pants getting on a plane, they even had a picture.

Now its a guy with lobsters.

Do you all remember that New York reporter that admitted he just made up news stories for years. He wrote a book about it.

Have you ever thought there may be 1000s of editors and even journalist doing the very same thing... Either plain BS, or distortions for alternative agendas.

7. What an ass. A lobster card costs less than $10 bucks, there are
plenty of legal places to fish, and 6 is within the daily limit. The dude should just do it right.

IMO, four time poachers ought to be fed to the sharks...or at least be prohibited from ever getting a hunting/fishing license again and jailed for a non-trivial length of time. :grr:
