Isn't this kinda like a lobster? I bet de-veining this thing was nasty.

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.

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 Winnick
addressed 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.
