Entry: How to hypnotise a lobster - A122987
Author: Lochangel - U47314

this struck me as being good, if perhaps untrue. i dont know. maybe ill try it next time i have occassion to.

That is excellent! With a bit more solid knowledge...

dont tell anyone but abi wrote it

Oooh. You lie!!

*pictures Abi tickling lobsters*

au contraire. you dont know abi like i know abi. bet you a tenner.

For all I know you *could* be Abi. I have no money to gamble with either

Uncle Heavy, you're kidding right? You don't actually intend for this to go in the EG? Utter tosh (though very humourous).
Btw, Lochangel really is Abi. Check out F14538?thread=162500 if you don't believe me.

It's true! See U281, Abi's Personal Space, where she says "I used to be ...". If you click on the smiley, it takes you to Lochangel's space!

By the way, I have to agree ... I don't see this going into the EG.

why not? what if it really IS the way to hypnotise lobsters? you dudes need to lighten up

Ok, Ok, I believe you.

But...have any of you Doubting Thomas' ever tried to hypnotise a lobster? I'm with Uncle Heavy...if it is true, it should go in!!

Anyone going to conduct the experiment?

* takes two paces back *

Oh, well volunteered there Unc. Off you go then

this all makes me think of a *really* unpleasant story someone once emailed me about a lobster, some baby shrimps and a sexually frustrated lesbian, so if its all the same to you, ill pass.

Any chance of telling the story then?

I am not volunteering either.

Um. Where would you get a live lobster anyway?

Any reasonable fishmonger should have one or two hanging around somewhere

This should link to the entry A583337 How to Hypnotise a Chicken. Alternatively, there could be a university project on the hypnosis of various animals.

I always found Roald Dahl's methods of capturing pheasants to be quite interesting...in the books, they were always tried out on chickens first.

Um. That's a little offtopic.

3 things! a) Yes I was called Lochangel prior to italicisation. b) This is a actually a well known zoological fact - you can make lobsters fall into a trance by stroking them. c) This already forms part of the Edited entry on Hypnotism. Or at least it did last time I looked.

But thanks for the though UH.

Have a good party tonight everyone! Here's to a wonderful 2003.

*Reap*

Yep, it's already part of A352496. Any seconders to move this thread back to the entry?
