Absolutely amazing!

They say we don't know something like 99% of the species on earth. On the other hand:

interesting and yet a little creapy that they didnt notice that crator before....

"oh wow look at that huge creator... nah its just a pot hole in the sand..."

When I saw the picture of the lobster it reminded me a little bit of the 'psammead' from Five Children and It. Psammead was the last word my father ever said to me, I put it up on my name thing yesterday telling the World that I still the psammead and my name has now been removed because it contravened regulations. Never mind. I'm not that bothered about that bit of red tape. Rules are rules.

I'm just going to add this and then I'm going to put it in my journal and then I'll come back here again



After reading the BBC "need to put in that link" about the strange lobsters and craters etc I thought I would try to put people's minds at rest about this strange and weirdsome creature.

Psammead was a mythical creature who granted people's wishes.
Think it was a British film company from Norther Ireland that actually produced a very good version of 5 children and it that I watched on my father's birthday 2 years ago.

That psammead in that film actually made the same noise my father always used to make when he pursed his lips together emitting air and making a strangely amusing noise especially appreciated by babies, children and eccentric adults.

they found a rodent has head like rat and tail lik a squirrel. they thought died out 11 milion yrs ago!

That lobster looks like a spider monkey to me.

Have you two got the right glasses on?

looks out of the window...thinks...too expensive too change that glass.

It's clear to me that this lobster has evolved directly from the spider monkey. I expect all crustaceans were once primates. I mean, look: this here crab has yet to come down from the trees: http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.arkive.org/media/3B167445-FBDC-437E-B465-1226344D3B25/Presentation.Medium/%2509%2509%2509%2509%2509%2509%2509%2509%2509%2509%2509info-Coconut-crab-on-palm-trunk.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.arkive.org/species/GES/invertebrates_terrestrial_and_freshwater/Birgus_latro/&h=191&w=287&sz=33&hl=en&start=9&tbnid=uWDC0FNkyF3jiM:&tbnh=73&tbnw=110&prev=/images%3Fq%3Drobber%2Bcrab%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26hs%3DQRL%26lr%3D%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26sa%3DG
