He could be older than Warner Bros. studio, General Motors and the Boy Scouts. He could have survived two world wars and Prohibition. He may be 100 years old. And if the price offer that People for Eating Tasty Animals was accepted, he would retail for about $350.00. He will soon be shipped of to Rigley's Believe it or Not but for now he is currently resting in a 4 foot by 4 foot tank.

What is he?

My first guess would have been Dorian Greyed, but no one would pay that much for a tough old...oh well!

Are we talking about a certain 22 pound lobster?

"Rock Lobster!!!!"

We are indeed Racer!

UPDATE: Bubba died at the zoo yesterday afternoon

RIP Bubba

How typical of people. Find something awesome in nature, capture it, and then it's gone forever. Like "Look at that beautiful flower! I'm going to pick it!"

That lobster lived 100 years only to die because somebody thought he was cool looking. Can't ever leave well enough alone.

(Sorry. I'm feeling bitter today. Tree in my yard is dead because the previous resident thought it would be a good idea to cut a circular band around the trunk so as to better hold his hammock. )

It was debated as to whether to put him back in the ocean or not. Guess he should have been put back...
