Has anyone seen a blue lobster? I found this while surfing the net. A rare blue lobster was caught at the mouth of Thames River in New London, Conn. The blue coloring is the result of a genetic defect and only occurs in one out of every 3 million lobsters. Interesting, isn't it?

1 out of every 3 million? That is an amazing fact. On one side, the lobsters are an elitist lot *LOL*. Like the spartans. Not to rub vegans the wrong way, but i love eating lobsters. I wonder if it is safe to eat the blue ones and if it has any side effects on humans. On second thought, i'd just put it up for auction since it is a rare find. Use the neat amount of profit to buy more free from defect lobsters! - Lyn
