The article implies that foot-long lengths are within reason for mantis shrimp, but the ones here are getting on to 1.25' (15 inches). That's not quite so scary as imagining a regular shrimp reaching these lengths.

Ernie, read the article. One of the guys who dredged it up ate the thing. Who knows what's in there. My friends and I avoid it like the plague.

In Japan, the mantis shrimp is known as a shako. They are quite tasty. Looks like something from the movie Alien, however.
It's got me wondering where they caught them...

So "jumbo shrimp" really isn't an oxymoron! Pupus, anyone?

Darn straight. If Rob Lobster were honest, they'd call themselves Red Bottom-Feeding Sea Bug, and offer all-you-can eat sea roach scampi on Fridays.

Big yes, but not all THAT bigger than the average Mantis Shrimp. They can naturally grow up to 10 inches, with 12 inch ones on record. It's not like a 1-2 inch regular food shrimp that super-sized. http://www.assateague.com/aq-mant.html

Stomatopods freakin' rule baby! They're among the planet's most awesomely superior mutants and their amazing range of capabilities are astonishing. The smashing type can strike with their forelimbs with the power of a .22 caliber bullet. The spearing type can jab their spearlike forelimbs at 10 meters per second within 4-8 milliseconds. They're the only species on Earth known to roll around like a wheel. Their eyes are the most sophisticated known, with 16 different photoreceptors, including 12 for color (weak, puny humans have only 3 types of cones, except for mutant tetrachromat women who have 4). And their information transmission rates have been clocked at 8.6 bits per second. For comparison, human speech comes in at 6.5! Read more, plus lots of links in my blog entry on Mantis Shrimp from March 2001.

I bought a huge shrimp cocktail at Gelson's last night. I didn't even realize why until I looked at boing boing again after I got back. Subliminal advertising!

Okay, JIMWICh, I'm impressed that you know the word "tetrachromat".
I've been a big fan of larger molluscs (particularly octopus and giant squid) for a while, you make these sound good, too.

Hawaii still has leaded gas? That's almost as amazing as the mutant searoach.

The chief vehicle through which Mr. Winnick makes his philanthropic contributions is The Gary Winnick Family Foundation, which he oversees in tandem with his wife, Karen, and the Foundation Director, Rosalie Zalis. The Winnick Family Foundation's recent activities include the funding of the largest volunteer children's literacy program in Los Angeles, the annual sponsoring of four research fellows at Cedars-Sinai, and the hosting of a major rally on behalf of the Los Angeles Police Foundation Scholarship Fund.

All of these causes are ones that Mr. Winnick is dedicated to supporting in unusually hands-on fashion. For example, at the rally on behalf of the Los Angeles Police Foundation Scholarship Fund, Mr. Gary Winnickaddressed the audience himself with a passionate, personal appeal to his fellow Los Angeles residents that they not take the safety of their children for granted, but instead "take responsibility for the community" by supporting the law enforcement personnel charged with keeping the streets of the city safe for everyone.
